Dhaka: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday said people will bring Awami League back to power as they are enjoying the benefits of development due to the continuation of her government.

‘People are enjoying the benefits of development as there is the continuation of the government,’ she said.

The Prime Minister said this when leaders and activists of Swechchhasebak League met her at Ganobhaban on the occasion of the founding anniversary of their organisation.

Recalling the atrocities of BNP-Jamaat clique during the last general election, Sheikh Hasina said this evil force had tried its best to foil the polls. ‘The country’s people will resist their such heinous design in the future and bring Awami League to power again.’

The Prime Minister mentioned that today the world does not see Bangladesh in merciful eyes rather they see it in the eyes of dignity.

She asked the leaders and activists of Swechchhasebak League to do politics with a sacrificing mentality as Bangabandhu did.

‘You have to do politics habouring the attitude of sacrifice like Bangabandhu…you must always think about how much you’re able to give to the country and its people,’ Hasina said.

Sheikh Hasina said Awami League’s politics always goes to one direction—ensuring the welfare of people as dreamt by Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

‘I’ll tell you that those who’ll do politics with the mentality of sacrifice will be able to have a dignified place in people’s hearts, and that’s the highest reward for a politician in his or her life,’ she said.

Swechchhasebak League president Advocate Molla Mohammad Abu Kawsar and general secretary Pankaj Debnath also spoke on the occasion.
