They began the demonstrations, carrying the photographs of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, around 10 am on Tuesday.
"I returned to the country 10 months ago. I will lose my job in Qatar if I can't return within February. I have submitted my documents to the foreign ministry twice for a re-entry visa, but they are not issuing my visa," Abdul Karim, one of the protesters, told bdnews24.com.
'The authorities are trying to address issues with the embassy and the factory owners to solve the problem," Foreign Secretary Masud Bin Momen said.
