Sheikh Hasina’s leadership brings dev in every sector: Speaker
DHAKA, Oct 17, 2018 (BSS) – Speaker of Bangladesh Parliament Dr Shirin
Sharmin Chaudhury said the farsighted leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh
Hasina is the reason behind attaining massive developments in every sector of
the country.
“Bangladesh has been acclaimed globally for considerable progress in
different key indicators of development as the present government has
implemented measures to complete the unfinished works of the father of the
nation Bangabandhu under the dynamic leadership of Sheikh Hasina,” speaker
said as the chief guest while addressing a reception organised by Awami
League (AL), Switzerland in Geneva today.
Highlighting women empowerment, she said women representation in
parliament is also increasing as 73 women are MPs in the present parliament.
Terming the 10th National Parliament is unique one, she said positive
and constructive criticism of the opposition made the parliament more
effective.
“World leaders have put their trust in democratic practice of
Bangladesh,” she said, adding, that is why Bangladesh is leading the top two
posts of The Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) and Inter-
Parliamentary Union (IPU) in the international arena.
She urged all to work together to build a ‘Hunger, Exploitation and
Discrimination free Bangladesh’ with the ideology of Bangabandhu by standing
against all the anti-liberation forces.
