Recalling the August 15 bloodshed, Hasina said, the killers all used to come to their residence (on Road 32 Dhanmondi) very regularly.

“My mother always had treated them with snacks and foods in our house. These people later came [to the house] as killers,” she said.

She mentioned that Bangamata was so courageous that she did not beg for her life when she witnessed the killers firing bullets at Bangabandhu.

In such a situation, people usually beg for their lives, but “my mother did not.”

Instead, standing tall before the killers “my mother asked them to kill her too as they killed her husband,” she said.

The prime minister said that Bangamata had nothing to ask for her personal life and she never desired anything for her own.

“We never heard anything like that; rather she gave away everything what she had for the party, the people and the relatives,” she added.

Hasina said that Bangamata tried to do everything possible for the betterment of womenfolk.
