People’s confidence in parliament returns in 10yrs: PM
SANGSAD BHABAN, Sept 8, 2019 (BSS) – Praying for eternal peace of the
departed soul of opposition leader in the house and Jatiya Party (JP)
chairman HM Ershad, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today told the Jatiya
Sangsad that the trust and confidence of the people on the parliament have
returned in the last 10 years.
“I believe that the trust and confidence of the people in parliament have
returned in the last 10 years,” she said while taking part in the discussion
on an obituary motion taken by the parliament for deaths of dignitaries
including opposition leader HM Ershad and Bangladesh National Awami Party
(NAP) President Professor Muzaffar Ahmed and former lawmaker Sirajul Islam.
The prime minister said, “They (Jatiya Party-Ershad) have been working as
(main) opposition party after the general election of 2014, which is
necessary for the socio-economic development of a country.”
She went on saying that the country has witnessed a huge socio-economic
development and achieved a dignified position in the world.
Praying for peace of the departed soul of Ershad, she said that nothing is
left after death of a people despite there were many things to say as they
(Sheikh Hasina and Awami League leaders and activists) were captured time and
again and inhumanly tortured by the then Ershad government.
“Despite the fact, we have compromised with many things for the sake of
the country, people, democracy, and development and are working for the
overall development of the country to reach the fruit of the independence to
the doorsteps of the people,” she said.
