PM urges BCL to earn peoples\\\' confidence

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Monday urged leaders of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) to earn trust and confidence of the students and love the countrymen to be successful in politics.
She also urged the BCL leaders to take out 'weeds' from the organization and uphold the glorious history of the party. A politician should know how to sacrifice, as without sacrifice one can give nothing to the people, she said.
Sheikh Hasina was addressing a discussion organized by Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) marking the National Mourning Day at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre (BICC) in the capital.
"The best achievement in the life of a politician is public confidence, trust and their love. If you want to get love from anyone you have to give them love. It doesn't matter what you have gained in the worldly life."
Sheikh Hasina said Bangabandhu used to say that the soil of Bangladesh is fertile to produce good crops. But weeds also grow along with crops. So you have to remove the weeds for better production, she said urging the BCL leaders to get rid of the weeds from the organization, a news agency report said.
General Secretary of Awami League Syed Ashraful Islam, member of Advisory Council of Awami League Prof. Sultan Shafi and Dhaka University teacher and translator of "Asomapto Athmajiboni of Bangabandhu" Professor Fakhrul Alam took part in the discussion.
President of the BCL Saifur Rahman Sohag presided over the function while general secretary SM Zakir Hossain also spoke among others.
The Prime Minister, the eldest daughter of Bangabandhu, said Bangabandhu gave up everything in his life to free the nation from subjugation. He always said behind every great success there is a big sacrifice.
Sheikh Hasina unveiled the publication of BCL "Matribhumi" marking the National Mourning Day.
