UNB, TUngipara, Gopalganj
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday said her government will work for balanced development of all people, irrespective of caste and creed.
“We'll work for the development of all equally and won't discriminate between those who had voted for us and those who did not,” she told a gathering of local people at Bangabandhu mausoleum complex at Tungipara.
Hasina, also the Awami League president, said: “The massive victory of Awami League-led grand alliance in the 9th parliamentary elections has entrusted us with a great duty and
responsibility towards the nation.”
She directed the leaders and activists of Awami League and its front organisations to take “this victory as responsibility towards the nation and work with utmost tolerance and patience.”
The prime minister sought blessings of all irrespective of party affiliation and belief so that she could meet the people's expectations.
Hasina pledged to reintroduce some programmes like allowances for the freedom fighters, elderly allowance, widow allowance, 'asrayan' housing projects and community clinic scheme.

She recalled the contributions of Awami League to the Language Movement, Liberation War in 1971 and democratic movements in the 90s.
Hasina extended her special thanks to the people of Gopalganj, Bagerhat and Rangpur districts from where she contested the national elections and got elected from three seats.
Earlier, the prime minister paid tribute to the father of the nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman by placing wreath at his grave.
After placing wreath, she stood in solemn silence for sometime showing respect to the architect of Bangladesh's independence. A contingent of the three services gave a guard of honour.
The prime minister offered special prayer for the peace of the departed soul of Bangabandhu and also for peace, progress and prosperity of the nation.
Cabinet members, advisers to the prime minister, state ministers, members of the parliament, high civil and military officials and family members and relatives of Sheikh Hasina were, among others, present.
