Dhaka: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday asked Awami League leaders and activists to go to the doorsteps of people to convey them the message about development activities her government has carried out as the next general election is approaching fast.

‘Elections will be held in the coming days, it’s must for us to go to the doorsteps of mass people if we want to win the next polls for the third consecutive time. We have to convey the message of development the Awami League government has carried out,’ she said.

Sheikh Hasina, also the Awami League chief, said this in her introductory speech on the second day of the party National Council at Engineers’ Institution Auditorium.

She stressed the importance of projecting the development programmes of the government that have been completed and are going to be completed, aimed at ensuring the welfare of people.

‘We’ve to convince the government that the country’s socioeconomic development needs to be maintained if AL wants to retain power,’ she said.

Hasina asked the party leaders and activists to stay alert so that those who pampered the war criminals, those who killed people through arson attacks and involved in money laundering cannot come to power.

‘I want to see the honesty to prevail among the leaders and activists of Awami League. I want to see its future leaders are elected to make the party even stronger,’ she said.

Hasina said, ‘Awami League is my family and kith and keen. I didn’t gave such a long time even to my children what I did for the party,’ she said in an emotion-chocked voice.
She directed the party leaders and activists to go to people to maintain the legacy of power for the development of the country.
