Finance Minister AMA Muhith today said if Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina asks him to take part in the new cabinet, he will join as he always obey the prime minister.

He came up with the remarks while exchanging pleasantries on the ‘New Year 2019’ at his secretariat office in the city on Tuesday.

“We achieved remarkable success in poverty alleviation in the last 10 years. We want to make the country poverty-free within the new tenure,” he added.

He said the 11th parliamentary election was held in a peaceful manner and people casted their votes in favour of Sheikh Hasina as they know that there will be no development without Sheikh Hasina.
