Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday (14 January) said Bangladesh will have to continue progressing overcoming the conspiracies.

“Conspiracies and plots never end. So, we’ll have to move forward facing the conspiracies,” she said.

The premier was addressing a post-election greetings and views exchange with leaders and activists of Kotalipara AL and associate bodies at her own constituency (Gopalganj-3) on Kotalipara Upazila premises here.

She said there is a lot of work to do in the future. The Awami League government has been able to transform the country into Digital Bangladesh and change the fate of the people of Bangladesh. “We’ll have to make it (the progress) sustainable and take it forward further,” she added. 

Describing her Gopalganj-3 constituency (Tungipara-Kotalipara) as her stronghold, Hasina said she can confront any sort of conspiracy anywhere as she has a stronghold.

She said the people of Bangladesh are the source of her power and she successfully faced the conspiracies with this power. “The development trend of Bangladesh will continue in future as well, " she said. 

“The people of every village will enjoy all urban facilities,” she said, adding that her government will build the villages under the “My Village My Town” programme.

The PM said the government won’t make any compromise in punishing the arsonists and their masterminds in order to prevent recurrence of such heinous acts in future.

“We’re taking action and will take action against them…. We’re also arresting the order-givers so that none can kill people by burning and commit such heinous acts in future,” she said.

PM's younger sister Sheikh Rehana, Sheikh Helal Uddin MP and Sheikh Salauddin Jewel were present on the dais. Kotalipara AL President Babu Bhabendranath Bishwas chaired the function, while its general secretary Aynal Hossain Sheikh conducted it.

AL advisory council member Akram Uddin Ahmed, Gopalganj Awami League president Mahbub Ali Khan and PM's political representative in her Gopalganj-3 constituency Shahidullah Khandaker also spoke at the programme.

She came to Tungipara on Saturday and joined a post-election greetings and views exchange meeting with leaders and activists of Tungipara Awami League and associate bodies at Tungipara Awami League office.

She spent the night at her own home in Tungipara, and on her way back to Dhaka joined the programme in Kotalipara.

Awami League won the 12th parliamentary election with landslide victory and formed the government for the fourth consecutive term and the fifth overall.
