The Nation Will Try Whoever Attempted to Demean The Father of Our Nation: PM

"The people of the country now know the history of the nation. Those who make derogatory remarks against Bangabandhu are "kulangar". They would not be spared for such comments. The people would try them," she said.

The Prime Minister said this after holding separate meetings with leaders of Gopalganj district Awami League and Tungipara Upazila Awami League and Kotalipara Upazila Awami League.

She held meetings with the AL leaders at Bangabandhu's house after placing wreaths and offering Fateha and munajat at the mazar of Bangabandhu here.

After the meetings, PM's Press Secretary AKM Shameem Chowdhury briefed reporters.

He said the Prime Minister enquired about the development works of her constituency and talked to public representatives side by side with the leaders of different levels.

Sheikh Hasina, also the Awami League president, directed the grassroots leaders to complete the council of the party and its associate bodies as soon as possible.

She said Awami League will have to be strengthened further for maintaining the trend of democracy, constitution and development.

The Prime Minister said those who want to foil democracy, constitution and development will have to be resisted.

Noting that the rate of poverty in the country has been reduced to a great extent, Sheikh Hasina said all including Awami League leaders and workers must have to remain vigilant so that the country's ongoing development is not hindered.

"You will have to remain alert so that anti-democratic elements who want to grab power in unconstitutional way could not create any unstable situation in the country," she said.

The Prime Minister said: "The curse of poverty in the country won't exist if we could maintain the trend of democracy, constitution and development."

Sheikh Hasina also urged the grassroots leaders to maintain unity among them side by side with strengthening the party.

Muhammad Faruk Khan, MP, Sheikh Helal Uddin, MP, Advocate Umme Razia Kajal, MP, AL Religious Affairs Secretary Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, Jubo Mohila League President Professor Nazma Begum, PM's Media Adviser Iqbal Sobhan Chowdhury, Principal Secretary Abdus Sobhan Sikder and Press Secretary AKM Shameem Chowdhuri, among others, were present on the occasion.
