Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has heavily come down on people who are making wholesale criticism saying Bangladesh will face the same situation.
She said: "Let them say that everything will be ruined. But, we are doing our tasks to move Bangladesh forward. The country must advance as the people are always with us and we have trust in them."
She made the remarks while joining the opening ceremony of National Fisheries Week at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre (BICC) on Sunday.
Sheikh Hasina stressed the need for establishing food and fish producing industries in the 100 economic zones being set up across the country.
She also urged the young generation to join hands to establish the industries to help generate employment and increase the number of export items and foreign exchange earnings.
"If we can establish processing industries and process fish, many countries will import those. We can also export various items produced from fish. It will meet our local demands and increase foreign earnings alongside generating employment largely," she said.
"We're giving the world a message by building the Padma Bridge by our self-fund that Bangladesh also can," she added.
The premier said that she wants Bangladesh to move ahead further towards a developed and prosperous Sonar Bangla free from hunger and poverty as envisioned by the Father of the Nation.
