Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday told the parliament that none can isolate her from the general people as they have confidence in her and trust that she has been working for their welfare.
“You can’t isolate me from the people. My strength is the people, and I move ahead with their strength. The people have trust and confidence in me that I am working for them. So, the confidence and trust of the people in me is my only belongings. So, I don’t care anyone [others’ concerns] as long as the countrymen are with me,” she said.
She was delivering the speech in the second session of the 12th Jatiya Sangsad (JS) with Speaker Dr Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury in the chair.
Sheikh Hasina said that she is well aware that her father Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was assassinated on 15 August 1975 as assassins had failed to isolate him from the people.
The vested quarters, she said, had conducted massive propaganda against the Father of the Nation despite the fact that he had provided with every foundations for running the state including the constitution for the welfare of the country and its people.
“After being failed to separate him (Bangabandhu) from the people, they killed him. Attempts were also made time and again on my life,” she said.
The leaders and workers of the Awami League saved her by sacrificing even their lives, she said.
The premier said she will work for the country and its people ignoring all future attacks on her life.
