Prime Minister (PM) Sheikh Hasina said on Monday democracy in Bangladesh now stands on a solid ground with the economy being strong enough, reports UNB.

"Bangladesh is marching forward. Our democracy now stands on a solid base while the economy is strong enough," she said while delivering her brief speech at an Iftar party hosted in honour of the leaders of different political parties at her official residence Ganobhaban.

The PM said Bangladesh entered the era of a developing country and its continuation has to be maintained.

Sheikh Hasina, also the chief of the ruling Awami League, said the government will ensure people's improved lifestyle through implementing Vision-2021. "We'll ensure education in all houses," she said.

About the launching of satellite Bangabandhu-1 into the orbit, she said Bangladesh has set its footprint in the areas of sea, air, space and nuclear.

Mentioning that there was scarcity of everything in the country once upon a time, the Prime Minister said the Awami League government through its pragmatic steps banished this scarcity.

She said the government will build the country imbued with the spirit of the Liberation War. "We'll make the country free from hunger and poverty as dreamt by the Father of the Nation."

Earlier, the Prime Minister went round different tables set for the guests, exchanged pleasantries with them and enquired about their wellbeing.

Before the Iftar, a munajat was offered seeking continued peace, progress and prosperity of the nation.
