Prime minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday said no one will be able to undermine Bangladesh as the country has demonstrated its strength by going for implementing its gigantic Padma Bridge project with own fund.
‘Bangladesh has achieved its independence under the Father of the Nation’s leadership…we want no one to neglect the Bengali Nation. Nobody, I think, will be able to undermine this nation as we’ve taught [them] a lesson over the padma bridge project …we’ve shown we can deliver,’ she said.
Sheikh Hasina was addressing a function after handing over the Bangabandhu National Agriculture Award 1420 to some 28 individuals and four organisations at the Osmani Memorial Auditorium in the city, reports United News of Bangladesh.
The prime minister extended her heartfelt thanks to the people of the country in this regard for standing beside her when she had announced for building the much-hyped dream bridge with own fund after the false allegation of corruption.
‘The overwhelming response that my government had received at that time from people boosted my morale,’ she added.
The ministry of agriculture organised the function with agriculture minister Begum Matia Chowdhury in the chair. Fisheries and livestock minister Mohammad Sayedul Haque was present as a special guest.
