PM-BASL-BNP Lead 3 LAST DHAKA
Sheikh Hasina directed the BASL leaders and workers to strengthen their organization and work with discipline. “Bangladesh Awami League is our main organization. But the associate bodies, including the BASL, are needed for making our programmes successful. So, you’ll have to further strengthen your organization keeping this in mind,” she said.
Referring to the imprisonment of Khaleda Zia, the premier said she is serving jail term as she embezzled the orphans’ money. “The stalwart lawyers of the BNP could not prove Khaleda Zia innocent. So, there is no benefit of demanding her release to us,” she said.
In this connection, the premier questioned how the country will be served by those who cannot check themselves from the greed of orphans’ money?
Elaborating her government’s tremendous achievements in different sectors, the premier said the people are now getting the touch of development. A scope for living beautifully in the country has been created for the people.
“We’ve implemented the two five-year plans and a 10-year perspective plan. Now we’re working to adopt a 20-year long-term plan from 2021-2041 to build Bangladesh as a developed and prosperous country free from hunger and poverty,” she said.
Sheikh Hasina said her government is also working with the 100-year delta plan to take Bangladesh at the top position of the world.
Recalling the birthday of Joy, the prime minister said July 27 is an important day to her. “My first child Joy was born on this day when I was detained by the Pakistani occupation forces … the day coincided with the founding anniversary of the BASL,” she said, seeking doa and blessing for her and Joy.
