PM Sheikh Hasina addressing the nation on Monday

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said Monday Bangladesh has emerged as a role model on the global stage over the last five years of her government's previous tenure as well as the first year of this tenure due to successful implementation of the development plans, reports UNB.

Elaborately dwelling on her government's various achievements in various fields, including the economy, power and energy, communications, education, health, food security, agriculture, fisheries and livestock, social-safety net, digitisation, women empowerment and good governance, Hasina said Bangladesh is now one of the five countries in terms of economic development in the world as it has attained 6.2 per cent GDP growth on average.

Voicing her firm commitment to come out of the vicious cycle of bad politics, Hasina urged Khaleda Zia to shun subversive activities, killing people, hurling bombs and grenades and making arson attacks that only cause loss of life and property.

"We want to come out of the vicious cycle of bad politics, we want to establish the politics which is for the country and the welfare of its people," she said in her address to the nation.

The Prime Minister's address, marking the first anniversary of the 10th general election held on January 5, 2014, was aired simultaneously by all TV channels and radio stations.
