DHAKA, 26 September 2021, (TON): If they’re people of principles and if they’ve any ideology, why do they use the digital systems we’ve built,’ asks the prime minister.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Friday came down heavily on those who are tarnishing the image of Bangladesh abroad.

She said while addressing a civic reception arranged by the US Awami League at New York LaGuardia Airport Marriott hotel in New York “some people, staying abroad, criticise and tarnish the image of the country. As we’ve elevated the country to a dignified position with our hard work, now their business is to undermine the country.”

She said “some people call the Awami League government an illegal one. But my question is how do they get the scope to utter those words [criticise the government]? They’ve got the scope as we’ve built Bangladesh as ‘Digital Bangladesh’.”

She further said “if they’re the people of principles and if they’ve any ideology, why do they use the digital systems we’ve built?”

She added that they criticise the government receiving money from BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami.
