Grassroots workers lifeblood of AL, says Hasina
Sunday, 26 July 2009
Prime Minister (PM) Sheikh Hasina Saturday said grassroots leaders and workers are the lifeblood of Awami League as they always stood consolidated at any political crisis and steered forward her party by mobilising public opinion, reports UNB.
As thousands of senior and young councillors profusely greeted Hasina on her re-election as the party chief with bouquets and sweets at her official residence Jamuna throughout the day Saturday, she said the faithful lower order of the party played a crucial role when she was arrested by the caretaker government.
Hasina expressed her confidence that these grassroots workers would play an important role in successfully foiling "any conspiracy against democracy" and help the nation overcome any crisis.
She was elected president of the ruling Awami League in the council session Friday for the sixth term since 1981.
The electors delegated power to the president and the newly elected general secretary, LGRD minister Syed Ashraful Islam. Party sources told UNB that a draft list of the party's full-fledged committee has already been finalised and it would be announced "in a day or two".
The Awami League chief and PM advised the councillors to work hard in
their respective areas to help fulfill the party's election commitments as well as government's development programmes.
The councillors who met Hasina came from Dhaka City, Pabna, Cox's Bazar, Kurigram, Chuadanga, Dinajpur, Barguna, Patuakhali, Panchagarh and Barisal.
