DHAKA, Feb 19, 2019 (BSS) – Awami League Publicity and Publication Secretary Dr Hasan Mahmud today said that the people of the country want continuation of the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

“There is no alternative to the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina as the country has been changed in the past 10 years under her leadership. We have been upgraded to middle income country status from the least developed countries,” he said.

He was addressing a press conference on AL’s programmes to observe the 50 years of conferring title ‘Bangabandhu’ on Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on February 23, 1969.

Hasan Mahmud said the country became one of the top five countries of the world in GDP growth under the leadership of Sheikh Hasina. The country has emerged as a perfect example of the development before the world community, he added.

Replying to a question, the information minister said it will be like old wine in new bottle if Jamaat-e-Islami comes up in new name without changing its leadership.

In observance of the day, AL will organize discussions, painting competition and cultural function at the Shilpakala Academy in the city on February 25 and 26.
