AL not running state by neglecting people: PM

DHAKA, July 12, 2019 (BSS) – Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today said Bangladesh Awami League (AL) is not running the state by neglecting the people, rather the party is working for their welfare by becoming a companion of their weal and woe.

“We’re not running the state by neglecting the people, rather we’re working for the welfare of the masses by becoming a companion of their joys and sorrows and staying beside them in their peril,” she said.

The premier added: “The country is progressing fast as we’re working by adhering to this principle”.

Sheikh Hasina, also the AL president, was delivering her introductory speech at a meeting of the AL Advisory Council and Central Working Committee at her official Ganabhaban residence here this afternoon.

The prime minister said Awami League has emerged as a political party by respecting and reciprocating to the inherent words and messages of the people. “Father of the Nation Bangabandhu had brought independence for the nation by strengthening the party,” she said.

Putting emphasis on further strengthening the party and mobilising public opinion, the Awami League chief said political strength and public support are very much needed to this end.

“Simultaneously we’ve to take every step forward by integrating all our thoughts and spirits … we’ve to advance in a planned way,” she continued.
