In a statement today, AL General Secretary and Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader hailed the premier for her speech in which she pledged to build a knowledge-based developed Bangladesh by 2041.

The call of Bangabandhu daughter is the vision for world peace and emancipation of mankind as her speech echoed the essence of establishing rights and dignity of repressed and deprived people of the world, he observed.
