BSS: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday reiterated her call to the countrymen not to allow anyone to toy with the destiny of the nation.
“I urge the countrymen not to let anyone play duck and drake with the fate of the nation,” she said while unveiling a plaque to inaugurate the Padma Bridge Rail Link Project’s Dhaka-Bhanga section as chief guest at a civic rally in Mawa
“This country is ours; (we) attained independence in exchange for blood. Bangladesh will march forward in the world arena and stand with head high cherishing the ideology of the Father of the Nation,” the premier added.
Mentioning that Bangladesh will be a smart country by 2041, she said, “We will build a smart population, smart economy, smart government, and smart society. It is our goal.”
Echoing the Bangabandhu’s quote “No one could hold back Bangalee” that he delivered during his historic March 7 speech, the prime minister said, “No one will be able to hold back this Bangalee, and Bangalee (nation) will remain united.”
