Continuation of dev requires re-electing AL

Sheikh Hasina tells Ishwardi rally

Hasan Jahid TUSHER, from Ishwardi, Pabna
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, also the Awami League president, yesterday said the AL should be voted to power in the next parliamentary election for continuation of the country's development.
Addressing a rally at the Rooppur nuclear power plant project grounds in Pabna's Ishwardi upazila, she said BNP resorts to terrorism, looting and corruption when it comes to power while the AL brings "prizes” and carries out massive developments.
Highlighting her government's successes, she said, "You voted for Awami League in the last election. Now I am seeking votes again.” Thousands of hands shot up while a "yes” rang out in unison. Thousands of AL leaders, workers and supporters of Pabna, Natore and Kustia districts joined the rally with banners and placards.
Hasina castigated Leader of the Opposition and BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia for “spreading falsehood" against the AL in the name of religion and for celebrating her birthday on August 15.
Khaleda's accusations that the government was killing Imams and prediction that there would be no call for prayers from mosques and none to conduct prayers and namaz-e-janazas are completely false, she said.
Hasina urged people not to be misled by such falsehoods by “BNP-Jamaat-Shibir-Hefajat", activists of which,

she said, under Khaleda's directive, ignited hundreds of Holy Quran in the capital on May 5. "I want to ask you whether any Muslim can burn the Quran,” she questioned.
AL lawmaker Shamsur Rahman Sharif Dilu chaired the rally while AL leaders AK Khandker, Mohammad Nasim, Mahbubul Alam Hanif, Dipu Moni, Khalid Mahmud Chowdhury and Shamsul Haque Tuku also spoke.
Hasina inaugurated 30 development projects digi-
tally by pressing switches at the venue.
These include academic buildings of three schools and one college, the administrative building of a university, a madrasa, a road, two upazila health complexes, a fire station, a guesthouse and silos.
She also laid the foundation stones of the Padma bank protection work, repairs for a stadium, academic buildings of three high schools, 10 colleges and two madrasas, and an upazila health complex.
