"Maintaining a warm relationship with India, we have to change the fate of the people," he said.
Hasan, also Awami League's joint general secretary, made the remark criticising BNP's recent call to boycott Indian products.
He wanted to know why there were such boycott calls from the BNP during the Ramadan and ahead of the biggest festival – Eid.
Hasan stated that the main objective behind BNP's call to boycott Indian products is to destabilise the country's market and exacerbate the suffering of the people by increasing prices of essentials.
