Awami League does not believe in vote rigging: PM at Kotalipara

Sheikh Hasina said her government has brought the 15th amendment to the constitution so that none can grab power by violating the constitution. "We have amended the martial lawordinances that were cancelled by the High Court," she said. The Prime Minister said over 6,000 elections were held in a free, fair and neutral manner in the last five years of the present government. "As many as 64,023 public representatives were elected through those polls and a single allegation was not raised about the polls," she said. Sheikh Hasina said BNP candidates won most of the city corporation polls. But she wondered how the main opposition can say that vote rigging took place in those polls. "So I would ask the opposition leader whether her candidates won those elections through vote rigging. You will have to answer this question," she added.
Blasting the BNP-Jamaat government for unleashing terrorism and corruption, the Prime Minister said Bangladesh was turned into a safe haven for terrorists and corrupt people during their five-year rule. She said the BNP leader herself whitened her black money by paying fine, while her two sons siphoned off crores of taka abroad. "We have already brought back a huge amount of laundered money. We will also bring back the money that we have found," she said. Highlighting her government's tremendous success in different fields like agriculture, education, health, electricity and food security, the Prime Minister said the aim of her government is to build Bangladesh as a prosperous and developed country by ensuring the welfare of the people.
Sheikh Hasina reiterated her firm determination to complete the trial of war criminals and execute the verdicts. "The trial of the 1971 culprits who committed crimes against humanity would be finished like Bangabandhu Murder Case and BDR Mutiny case," she asserted.

From the meeting venue, the Premier inaugurated Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA), academic building of Sheikh Hasina School and College, Agriculture Weather Laboratory, Muktijoddha Complex Bhaban, Women Cricket Stadium, Sheikh Moni Stadium Hostel Bhaban, academic building of Sheikh Lutfor Rahman Adarsha Government College, Pinjuri Union Parishad Bhaban, Ramshil Union Parishad Bhaban, Gopalpur Bridge, Muktijuddha Smriti Jadughar of Hemayet Bahini, Kotalipara Upazila Parishad Bhaban, Fire Service and Civil Defence Station, new building of Kotalipara Sub-registrar Office, Agrani Bank Dangar Char branch and Gopalganj-kotalipara-Paisarhat road.
