The prime minister urged all including the retired government officials who believe in the spirit of the liberation war to properly highlight and inform the development works of the Awami League government to the people.

“Doing only work for the people is not enough … the people will have to be remembered repeatedly about this work,” she said.

Sheikh Hasina also pointed out the BNP-Jammat’s atrocities on the people, especially opposition leaders and workers, after the 2001 elections.

She said thousands of Awami League leaders and workers became victims of brutality of the BNP-Jamaat terrorists at that time.
