PM-AL-MEETING-2 LAST DHAKA
The premier said the condition of BNP-Jamaat is like a parricide as people boycotted them because they had been resorting to corruption, terrorism, militancy and nepotism while in power.
BNP even did nomination business during the last general election giving nominations to around 700 people in 300 parliamentary seats, she mentioned.
She said BNP might have done the nomination business realizing that the AL would come to power again as the local and international surveys hinted the Awami League’s absolute victory in the last general election.
The Awami League government has changed the lot of country’s people with huge economic development which already reaches the village level, she said, adding that the economic competence of the village people has increased due to the economic development.
“We are working to build a developed and prosperous Bangladesh as Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman wanted to build the country as ‘Sonar Bangladesh’ free from poverty and hunger,” she said.
Greeting the party men on the occasion of Pahela Boishakh, the first day of Bangalee New Year, the prime minister said with joy that the people irrespective of different opinions, parties, cast, creed and professions observed the day enormously.
In this context, she said the Awami League government gave festival allowance on the occasion of the Pahela Boishakh.
The premier asked the party men to take huge preparations to observe the birth centennial of the Father of the Nation in 2020 and the Golden Jubilee of the Independence in 2021.
Measures have already been taken at the government level and a national committee has already been formed to observe the ‘Mujib Borsha’ in 2020-2021 to celebrate the two historic events enormously, she added.
