Arafat Rahman Koko has made a great contribution behind the sports organizations being so strong today and the reputation they are gaining in the international sports world at home and abroad. When BNP was in power, the country's sports arena was party-free and strong. But the current Awami government has partisan and politicized sports in the last 15 years after assuming power. As a result, the country's sports arena is in a fragile state. Leaving the playground, the youth and the youth are addicted to drugs. BNP Vice Chairman Abdul Awal Mintu was the special guest.
