QUADER-HASINA-STRENGTH
People are key strength of Sheikh Hasina’s politics: Quader
DHAKA, May 7, 2021 (BSS) – Awami League (AL) General Secretary and
Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader today said the
country’s people are the key strength of AL President and Prime
Minister Sheikh Hasina’s politics.
“Bangabandhu’s daughter Sheikh Hasina had enormous courage as she
didn’t do any misdeed. So, no conspiracy could bar Sheikh Hasina from
returning home on May 7, 2007,” he told a regular press conference at
his residence recalling Sheikh Hasina’s homecoming on May 7.
Quader said May 7 is a memorable day to the democracy-loving people
of Bangladesh.
On this day in 2007, Bangabandhu’s daughter Sheikh Hasina returned
home en route to London, after receiving treatments in the United
States, defying all obstacles and conspiracy to restore the country’s
democracy during the state of emergency declared by the then military
backed caretaker government, he said.
He said as Sheikh Hasina was born to a political family, she
witnessed different aspects and change of courses in history.
Sheikh Hasina’s father Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was her
political mentor and she loves the people as like as his father, he
mentioned.
The AL general secretary said as Sheikh Hasina returned home on that
day defying all obstacles to free democracy from captivity, the then
caretaker government had been forced to leave the power by holding the
general elections fowling pressure created by the pressure.
He said Awami League led Grand Alliance attained a landslide victory
in the December 29, 2008 general elections and then formed the
government.
After assuming office as the prime minister for the second time,
Sheikh Hasina began struggle to build the country as a happy and
prosperous nation after retrieving it from crisis.
He said Sheikh Hasina freed the nation from stigma by bringing
Bangabandhu’s killers and war criminals to justice.
Quader said because of her diplomatic efficiency, Bangladesh settled
longstanding maritime and land boundary issues with neighboring
countries.
He said Bangladesh is now marching forward on the highway of
development in an indomitable pace under the dynamic leadership of
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
