Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday urged the labour leaders not to make any complaints to foreigners against the country.
“As long as Awami League is in power, we can assure that we can solve any problem there is,” she said, criticizing a section of labour leaders who take their problems to foreigners.
The prime minister was addressing a function marking the historic May Day from her official residence Ganabhaban through a videoconference.
The Ministry of Labour and Employment arranged the function at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in Dhaka.

Sheikh Hasina said her government has done a lot for the welfare of the workers. Even after that, there are some labour leaders who like to make complaints whenever they see any foreigner.
“We’ll be able to solve our own problems in the country. I would suggest the labour leaders not cry before the foreigners, but rather come to me if you have any problems. If there is anything (benefit) that needs to be materialized from the owners, it is me who can do it,” she said.
The premier said she believes that problems the labours face can be solved through negotiations between the owners and the workers.
