Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has expressed her firm belief that the people of the country will see an end to their days of sorrow as Awami League is in power for the second time in a row through the January 5 parliamentary polls.
She said this in an article she wrote commemorating the 65th founding anniversary of the ruling Awami League.
The article, titled ‘Only Awami League can make it, only Awami League will make it’, has already been published by several online media. Several newspapers are also expected to publish it in their Tuesday’s editions.
The Prime Minister said Awami League has got the opportunity to keep up the pace of development in the country for the second time with the people’s mandate and it will be able to properly utilise this opportunity.
AL is hopeful about meeting the commitments it made to people so that Bangladesh can attain the developed country status by 2021, she added.
“The people of Bangladesh have suffered a lot, sacrificed many things. I firmly believe their days of sorrows will end. The Bangali nation will hold its head high at the international arena,” she asserted.
In her recollection from the past struggles of the people of the country, Sheikh Hasina said the creation of Awami League is a rare incident as the party led the nation’s struggle for freedom by combining non-violent civil disobedience movement with the armed War of Liberation in 1971.
Awami League had been able to make the impossible possible due to the patriotic and self-sacrificing contribution of its activists and followers, she said.
“Awami League had been able to thwart numerous conspiracies and obstacles in its 65-year journey because it enjoyed the support of people as well a multitude of self-sacrificing activists and leaders,” Hasina added.
