I\\\'m ready to make any sacrifice for the people: PM

Sunday, 16 August 2015


Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday said she is ready to make any sacrifice for changing the fate of the people and materialising dream of Bangabandhu.
"The fate of the Bangalee nation must be changed and the dream of Bangbandhu must be fulfilled. So I am always ready to make any sacrifice for ameliorating the condition of the Bangalee nation and materializing dream of Bangabandhu by bringing smiles on the faces of the commoners," she said.
Mentioning that repeated attacks were made on her life in the past, she said no conspiracy will deter her from establishing a poverty and hunger-free 'Sonar Bangla' as dreamt by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, a BSS report said.
"I don't care about any conspiracy.... Only Allah can give and take life and I always believe in it and depends on Allah. I never bowed to anybody except Allah and I won't do so," she said.
The Prime Minister said this while addressing a discussion at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre here this afternoon.
Sheikh Hasina, the President of Bangladesh Awami League, chaired the discussion.
Bangladesh Awami League arranged the discussion as part of its 40-day proramme on the occasion of the National Mourning Day.
Deputy Leader of the House and senior Presidium Member of Awami League Syeda Sajeda Chowdhury, AL Advisory Council Members Amir Hossain Amu, Tofail Ahmed and Suranjit Sengupta, Presidium Members Begum Matia Chowdhury, Mohammad Nasim and Engineer Mosharraf Hossain, General Secretary Syed Ashraful Islam, eminent writer Syed Shamsul Haque, AL Joint Secretaries Jahangir Kabir Nanak and Mahbubul Alam Hanif, Organizing Secretaries Ahmed Hossain and AFM Bahauddin Nasim, Dhaka City AL President MA Aziz and General Secretary Mofazzal Hossain Chowdhury Maya took part in the discussion. Noted reciter Shimul Mustafa recited a poem on Bangabandhu at the function.
Earlier, a minute's silence was observed as a mark of profound respect to the memories of Father of the Nation Bangabndhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and other martyrs of the August 15 carnage, the four national leaders and those who embraced martyrdom in different movements of the country including the War of Liberation in 1971.
