Prime Minister and Awami League President Sheikh Hasina said that the people of the country will never allow the BNP-Jamaat alliance to come to power.

He said, "Bombing, shooting and grenade attackers, 10 truckloads of arms smuggling, money embezzlers of people and orphans will never come to power in this country." The people of Bangladesh will never accept them.

Prime Minister and Awami League president Sheikh Hasina said this in her presidential address at a discussion meeting organized by Bangladesh Awami League on the occasion of the 103rd birth anniversary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at the Bangabandhu International Conference Center in the capital this afternoon.

He called upon the party leaders and workers to highlight the work done by his government for the development of the country among the people. Because they (BNP-Jamaat) lie to the people again and again and want to make that lie true. But during their tenure people got - wailing for food, shot for asking for electricity. Khaleda Zia shot and killed 27 laborers during the month of Ramadan as they demanded fair wages. 18 farmers killed them for asking for fertilizer.

The Prime Minister said, these are their records, they have done these. And today you don't have to ask anyone for fertilizer. We have delivered electricity to every house. Working for the welfare of people. We have provided clean water and sanitary latrines up to the village level. Providing 30 types of medicines through community clinics, from now on providing free insulin to poor diabetic patients from community clinics.

However, if the people are good, BNP-Jamayatites seem to have trouble in their hearts, the Awami League president said, it must be remembered that Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib was born on this soil and he made this country independent. So no people in his Bangladesh will suffer from food, will not be homeless, will not be deprived of the light of education. The quality of life of every human being will improve.

He also said that this Bangladesh is the Bangladesh of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib and as he wanted, his Bangladesh will continue to hold its head high in the world court. This is our pledge on the birthday of the Father of the Nation. It is with this promise that the leaders and activists of Awami League and each of its affiliated organizations should work for the welfare of the people of the country.
