He said this while addressing a seminar titled 'Seminar-2021 on Presentation of Final Results of Research' at NEC Conference Room in Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka on Monday noon.
But it has been distorted by the media saying that he has asked to eat water hyacinth. The minister is still raising the question as to why there can be no research on water hyacinth. He must have the courage to ask questions.
But courage is less in the culture of the country. In this regard, the Minister said, I once said about water hyacinth that research is needed. Bring such a study. There were senior teachers, four or five vice chancellors of different universities.
I said that day, why not do research on water hyacinth? One of the journalist brothers said that I told him to eat water hyacinth! That's why I said it first, courage. Courage is low in our culture.
I'm saying this big thing with a small face. Must show courage. But who will- those who are young, those who are studying, those who are teaching, they.
They must show courage. Today's seminar is organized by the Social Science Research Council of the Planning Department.
