Hasina urges people
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday sought cooperation from all classes of the people to build a poverty-free digitally enabled golden Bangladesh as dreamt by Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
The prime minister sought the cooperation through the media personnel at Gono Bhaban after exchanging Eid greetings with her cabinet colleagues, lawmakers, foreign diplomats, judges, leaders and workers of Awami League (AL) and cross-section of the people.
Men, women and children thronged Gono Bhaban in a long queue and conveyed their Eid greetings to the PM. Smiling Hasina entertained the guests with sweets and fruits.
She also exchanged greetings with a number of persons with disabilities including children and women in particular who were also entertained on the occasion.
Hasina also greeted the Bangladeshi people living abroad on the occasion.
She said the prices of essentials during the Ramadan were under tolerable situation. “The law and order situation was also satisfactory and the people could do their shopping till late night not only in Dhaka but also in each district,” she said.
She thanked the law enforcing agencies for their wonderful work during the Holy Ramadan.
Hasina said the businessmen did not raise the prices for essentials unusually, although one or two persons were engaged in something unusual. But, she observed the overall situation was very comfortable and this is very rare in the country especially during the Ramadan.
She said the shop owners also expressed their satisfaction over their sales this year.
She said her government is working hard for improving the economic condition of the people. “We are working hard towards that direction,” she said.
