DHAKA, 3 February, 2021 (TON): The country would move forward proving its enemies wrong despite the propaganda being carried out against it at home and abroad said the Bangladesh Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday.

"Bangladesh is moving forward and it will continue doing so proving its enemies wrong. Propaganda is being carried out in different ways at home and abroad. I believe if we work with honesty, people will get the benefits of that work," she said.

She addressed in the 11th session of the 11th parliament, and also it was an address on the thanksgiving motion on the president’s speech.

The 11th session of Jatiya Sangsad terminated yesterday after 12 sittings.

While discussing the politics, Hasina said, the BNP was suffering from a lack of leadership and people did not have any trust and confidence in the party as convicted and fugitive accused were at its helm.

The Awami League gained people's trust and confidence, which was reflected in the results of the recent polls to local bodies, she added.

After the PM's address, the thanksgiving motion on the president's speech was adopted unanimously by the House.

Altogether, 133 lawmakers from the government and opposition benches spoke on the motion for 25 hours and 25 minutes.

Hasina said, "People are now getting services from Awami League, development of the country is going on and the people's wellbeing is being improved. Accordingly, Awami League has gained people's trust and confidence. We saw its reflection in the local government elections."

She stated that the people are enthusiastic about casting ballots and elections are being held in a free and fair manner.

"Polling is now being held through electronic voting machines (EVMs) and there is no scope for committing irregularities. I thank the people for exercising their voting rights and expressing their opinion."

She said there is no system for influencing the polls by using muscle power. "Yes, troubles might occur among councilor candidates in some places during the elections to local bodies."

The leader of the House pointed out that because of some rigging votes, some previous governments were forced to step down.

She also focused on the ongoing situation in the country, including the pandemic, imprisonments, institutions, etc.  

The leader seemed confident in coping with the condition of the country and openly claimed non-appreciation from the countrymen and others, besides being praised by the most worldwide.
