The premier said her government has been trying to help the people of all professions so that they do not experience hardships during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We have been giving assistance to the people of all professions ranging from the workers and day-labourers to the small traders for their livelihoods to mitigate their hardships during the pandemic,” she added.

She said that her government turned Bangladesh into a digital country in line with the electoral pledge of 2008.

“Many things such as sending cash assistance to people, treating them keeping at home, conducting trade and commerce, sale and purchase, and exchanging views could be possible through online as Bangladesh was turned into a digital country,” she continued.

The premier said it could not be possible if the digital Bangladesh was not established and the Bangabandhu Satellite-1 was not launched by the Awami League government.
