PM Hasina: Some big global powers want govt loyal to them

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday said some major powers of the world want to establish a loyal government in Bangladesh because of importance in its geographical location.

 

“Actually, due to the geographical location of Bangladesh, some big countries want that there will be a government here (in Bangladesh) which will just lick their feet,” she said.

The premier said this while addressing a discussion on the occasion of National Mourning Day.

Dhaka city Awami League North and South units organized the discussion at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre.

She alleged that big countries always have their big brotherly attitude.

“If they become friends of anyone then there is no need for any enemy,” she said without mentioning any country’s name.

In this connection she said that Ukraine has been their friend.

“What is the condition of Ukraine today. Women and children there are facing untold miseries. Their country has been demolished for this kind of friendship. That is the reality,” she said.

Hasina, also the president of ruling Awami League, came down on these countries for their unnecessary nose poking in the country’s election.

“There are some countries which are searching democracy all the time,” she said.

In this regard, she said that Awami League always struggled for establishing democracy and voting rights of the people in the country.

“Leaders and activists of this party gave their blood to establish democracy. And now, we have to listen from some countries which are searching for democracy and rights for casting votes,” she said.

The prime minister said that people of the country laid their lives and gave blood to attain independence under the leadership of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
