Bangladesh has not only established democracy, it is also now leading the democratic world, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said.
The Prime Minister said this while participating in a discussion on the thanksgiving motion on election of Speaker Dr Shirin Sharmin Chowdhury as chairperson of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) and Saber Hossain Chowdhury MP as the president of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), reports BSS.
Sheikh Hasina said:"A great responsibility has now been vested on us to protect and advance democracy by way of our victory in CPA and IPU. So, I seek cooperation and prayer from all in our noble mission."
Referring to Bangladesh's unprecedented victory in the CPA and IPU, the Leader of the House said these wins became possible as the people of the country have reposed their faith on the government and the Bangladesh Awami League.
On behalf of all lawmakers, the Prime Minister greeted all players of the Bangladesh team for their unprecedented success against Zimbabwe.
