PM-CAMPAIGN-VOTE 2 BHANGA
The prime minister said her party deserved votes also for establishing a
corruption, militancy and terrorism-free Bangladesh saying “my aim is now to
establish a corruption, militancy and terrorism-free Bangladesh and your vote
is required to achieve the goal”.
She reminded all Bangladesh’s rating as the most corrupt country for five
consecutive years when the BNP-Jamaat government was in power while “now the
corruption has come down significantly and for this, we got its recognition”.
Sheikh Hasina said Bangabandhu and Bangamata sacrificed their lives for the
betterment of the people and “I’ve also dedicated my life to the welfare of
the people . . . if needed, I will shed my blood to establish your rights”.
Spelling out Bangladesh’s stunning successes in different sectors, the AL
president said the country started its journey towards light and none will
able to halt this advancement.
“We have sacrificed all things for the young generation,” she said, adding
that the continuity of the government is a must for changing their lot and
keeping up the country’s development.
The prime minister said if elected again, the Awami League would build a
hunger and poverty-free Bangladesh so the future generation gets a better
life.
The people raised their hands in favour of boat, when the Awami president
sought support from them. “Please promise that you will vote for boat, I’m
also giving commitment to establishing a hunger and poverty-free Bangladesh
so that your children get a better life,” she said.
Sheikh Hasina said the nation will celebrate birth centenary of
Bangabandhu in 2020 and golden jubilee of independence in 2021 and these will
be celebrated with festivity if Awami League comes to power again.
“So you can understand that how much valuable your vote,” she said.
Vowing that ongoing drive against terrorism, militancy and narcotics will
continue, the prime minister said those who have links with drugs must be
isolated and called upon people to wage a social campaign to root out these
menaces.
