Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said a government, having a well-organized party behind, can fast develop a country.
"A government can work successfully when there is a well-organized party behind it…a well-organized party is a great strength for a government…this strength works most in developing a country, and I feel that," she said.
The prime minister made the remarks in her introductory speech at the first joint meeting of the newly-formed Awami League Central Working Committee and Advisory Council at its Bangabandhu Avenue central office, on Friday, reports UNB.
Sheikh Hasina dedicated the first meeting to late former Awami League general secretary Syed Ashraful Islam as Friday marks his first death anniversary.
On January 3, 2019, Syed Ashraf, also the then public administration minister, died at the age of 68 while undergoing treatment at a hospital in Bangkok. He had been suffering from lung cancer.
The premier said she always put highest importance to her party and instructed, that different district, upazila, union and ward-level Awami League units, which are yet to hold their councils, have to do that quickly in order to have a more strengthened party across the country. "We have to build the entire party in a stronger way."
She also put emphasis on holding the councils of various associate organizations of Awami League.
