The BNP doesn`t want elections; instead, the opposition party wants to instigate an abnormal situation in the country, said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
“The constitution will undoubtedly be followed when holding the election. The BNP is aware that no one will support them in elections. Why would the people vote for those who were ejected from office owing to vote fraud? They intend to undermine the nation,” the Bangladeshi premier said in the Italian capital on Tuesday while speaking at a local gathering there.
She was in Rome for the UN summit on food. She questioned how the BNP could campaign for votes after murdering people with arson.
“They oppose elections. They wish to make the country`s citizens suffer because they lick the legs of certain of their foreign lords. They seek to obstruct the nation`s and its citizens` continuing progress,” she stated.
According to Hasina, the BNP is never concerned with the wellbeing of the citizens. Everyone must keep it in mind, she added.
“They intend to capture fish in tumultuous water,” she informed the audience adding that, “their goal is to impede Bangladesh`s progress.”
The prime minister pleaded with everyone to maintain their unity and save Bangladesh from the BNP.
Stressing that Bangladesh Awami League (AL) will have to come to power to build the country as Smart Bangladesh, the AL president sought votes for her party electoral symbol ‘boat’ again in the next general election, reports UNB.
Referring to imposition of sanction on Rab officials and visa sanction by the USA, the Prime Minister said, “By whom we`ve curbed terrorism and militancy, sanction is imposed on them. We can’t understand its mystery.”
“Those who had not supported our liberation war want to play games with our country in various ways now. The players can’t be allowed to play. The people of the country will have to remain united,” she went on.
The premier asked expatriate Bangladeshis to send remittance through legal channels, search foreign partners to make investment in Bangladesh particularly in ICT, food processing and small industries.
She also urged the expatriates to abide by the laws of their host countries and discouraged the overseas jobseekers to migrate to the foreign countries through illegal channels.
Hasina asked the expatriates to inspire their families and relatives in Bangladesh not to leave an inch of land uncultivated in order to boost food production amid the current global situation.
She said her government has taken steps to improve the food storage system.
The PM focused on her government`s successes in different sectors and the progress the country has attained since 2009.
