Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday said a group of political
parties joined hands with BNP-Jamaat alliance to try to oust her government and
return the country to an era of darkness again.
“Mr Manna, Dr Kamal Hossain, Communist Party, left leaning
parties are now tagged with BNP-Jamaat alliance for forging movement to oust
the Awami League government,” she said in naming the leaders and parties.
Hasina, also the president of ruling Awami League, was
speaking at the opening of a weeklong programme marking the Golden Jubilee
founding anniversary of Bangladesh Krishak League, an associate body of the
party.
The programme was held at Krishibid Institution, Bangladesh
while the prime minister joined it virtually.
“What is their motive to oust the government”, she asked.
“(It is just) to deprive the people from all the facilities that are being
given by the government,” she said.
She said that there are some political leaders in the
country who never remain beside the people during any crisis, but are very much
busy to talk about movement for ousting the Awami League government.
“What is the fault of Awami League government? Why do they
want to oust it?” she wondered.
Hasina said people voted Awami League to power in 2008
national polls in support of the party’s election manifesto.
“In that manifesto we had declared Vision 2021. I am
expressing my gratitude towards the people of the country for electing us
repeatedly,” she said.
She also said that the government has attained the targets
declared in the party’s election manifestoes.
“We have promoted our country from least developed country
to developing country while we were celebrating the birth centenary of the
Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and the Golden Jubilee
of the Independence,” she said.
Referring to her critics she again wondered why don’t they
like the country’s graduation to a developing country. “Is it the reason why
they want to remove this government?” she said adding, “My question to them is
what’s our crime.”
She said that the government has taken steps to change the
fate of all people of the country including those in the grassroots.
Mass people living in the grassroots level and rural areas
are getting benefits from the government’s development programmes, she added.
The PM said that the government has given importance on the research on
agriculture so that the country gets more positive results in food production
along with other related issues.
She also mentioned that the government has taken numerous
development programmes for the welfare of the mass people of the country.
Briefly describing various steps taken for the welfare of
agriculture and farmers, she said the government is determined to achieve the
goals.
“We have forged a system so that farmers get the fair price
of their produced items,” she said.
Bangladesh Krishak League President Samir Chandra and former
presidents of Krishak League Dr Mirza Abdul Jalil and Motahar Hossain Molla,
former Krishak League general secretaries Mizanur Rahman and Harun Ur Rashid
Hawladar and current secretary Umme Kulsum also spoke at the programme.
A video documentary on Krishak League was screened at the
programme.
The prime minister also unveiled ‘Krishak Kantha’, a
publication of Krishak League.
