Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday urged the countrymen to contribute to the development of their own areas as the government is working for the overall progress of the country, reports BSS.
“We are working for the development of the country. All of you (countrymen) should contribute to the development of your own areas,” she said.
The premier said this while addressing the celebration ceremony of the civil works completion of the south tube of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Tunnel under Karnaphuli river in Chattogram.
She joined the function virtually from her official residence Ganabhaban in the capital.
Referring to the ongoing development works under the Awami League (AL) government, she said, “Bangladesh is moving ahead . . . None can stop this stride towards progress anyhow.”
Sheikh Hasina, however, suggested the people, who don't see the development works of the government, to go to the eye specialists.
“Our development work is not visible to many people. May be their eye sights are lost. If it is so, they can go to the ophthalmologists. We've established a very good eye institute. After getting treatment from there, they might see the development,” she said.
If someone is blind even after having eyes, "then we have nothing to do," the prime minister added.
Mentioning that there are some people in the opposition who are blind despite having eyes, she said, “They pretend not to see. They can't do anything themselves. They can't do anything in the future, even can't give anything to the country.”
