PM: People have full confidence in government

The people of Bangladesh have full confidence and trust in the current Awami League government, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said.

The premier made the claim while replying to a supplementary question from treasury bench member Professor M Ali Ashraf during Prime Minister's 'Question Answer Session' in the House on Wednesday, reports BSS. 

Sheikh Hasina said: "We have complete support and confidence of the people. That's why, the people are not responding to the repeated calls of some political parties for movement.”

She said people know very well that we can only take forward the country toward development, progress and prosperity.

“Country's development is possible by that political force which has liberated the country,” said Sheikh Hasina, leader of the House. 

She urged the parliament members for taking steps for a proper execution of the projects and programmes taken for development of their area.

She said the government doesn't have the aim of creating any moneyed man in the country, but fulfill basic needs of every people and ensure overall development. 

Replying to another question from independent member Hazi Mohammad Selim, the Prime Minister confidently said the country's rural economy has gained momentum due to the massive development programmes.

Bangladesh would be a middle income country much before 2021 if the ongoing pace of development continued, she hoped.
