Bangladesh will not need certain country by its side to survive: Hasina

Sheikh Hasina believes since Bangladesh won independence despite fierce opposition from the global superpower US, it will not die if certain countries do not stand by it now.
The prime minister believes difference of opinions with a country does not mean their relations will sour.
Hasina made the remarks at a press briefing Friday responding to questions on the recent Dhaka visit of US main person for south and central Asia Nisha Desai Biswal.
A journalist pointed out a report in a national daily that feared Dhaka-Washington ties may be dented by LGRD and Cooperatives Minister Syed Ashraful Islam's comments on Biswal where he dubbed the latter a "worthless minister". Hasina skirted a direct reply.
"The US assistant secretary of state met the opposition leader and the BNP chief during her visit. If anyone made any comments, he is responsible for it. Please ask him about it," she said.
She recalled reports suggesting the World Bank president had suspended the lender's funding in Bangladesh's Padma Bridge project without the board's approval at the behest of the US State Department, according to a news agency.
