‘Padma Bridge a dignity of Bangalee nation’

MAWA, Munshiganj, June 25 (BSS): Awami League (AL) Joint General Secretary Mahbub-ul-Alam Hanif said the Padma Bridge is the bridge of the Prime Minister's sacrifice, dignity and the integrity.

"The Padma Bridge is the dignity of the Bangalee nation. The bridge symbolises honesty and firmness of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina," he said while talking to journalists at the Mawa end of the Padma Bridge inauguration.

Hanif mentioned that many conspiracies were hatched against the Padma Bridge and finally the World Bank withdrew its funding for a so called allegation.

He said local and foreign conspiracies were also hatched against the long cherished Padma Bridge.

"I think the Padma Bridge materialised dream of our Bangalee nation and this is Sheikh Hasina's bridge of victory and the bridge is the Bangalee nation's pride," the Awami League leader said.

Earlier, the Prime Minister opened its longest bridge, overcoming three pronged challenges - financial, engineering and political.

She inaugurated the bridge on one of world's mightiest rivers connecting southwestern Bangladesh with the capital and other parts.
