Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday asked Awami League leaders and activists to work together to bring her ruling party back to power to sustain the development spree.
“If any party other than Awami League comes to power, development and the country will be destroyed.”
The prime minister said this at a meeting of leaders and activists of Dhaka city North Awami League at her official residence Ganabhaban in the capital.
She said that everyone should be vigilant so that anti-state, murderous, fundamentalist groups and anti-liberation war forces do not come to power.
“We have proved that when Awami League is in power, the country develops and people's quality of living improves. The country is moving forward as Awami League is in the power. The respect for and status of Bangladesh abroad has increased a lot,” she said, reports UNB.
Hasina said, “The change that has been visible since 2009 till date has been possible because Awami League has been in power consistently. We have come to power by winning people's hearts.”
Awami League did not avenge the torture that has been done to its leaders and workers from 1975 to 2008, she said.
The premier said the government has planned development in every district. As a result, the number of poor people in the village is very negligible.
“All the progress we have made in the last fourteen years and a half will be destroyed if the continuity of the government is not maintained.”
The Awami League chief asked the party leaders and activists to publicise the development made by the government.
Introducing Awami League nominated candidate for Dhaka 17 seat by-election, Mohammad A Arafat, she said, "I have handed over Arafat to you and everyone will have to work together to ensure the victory of the boat."
