"This pain never reaches the ears of those who talks about human rights and do business centering human rights," he told a rally followed by a human-chain in front of Jatiya Press Club (JPC) here. Dr Hasan, also Awami League joint general secretary, said now some countries are using human rights as their weapon to suppress the countries where development and progress are taking place but they are not getting proper access there to do business.
