Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina called upon the leaders and activists of Awami League to work for the development of Bangladesh and the people.
She made this call when a delegation of Thailand's Awami League paid a courtesy call on the Prime Minister at her residence on Thursday (April 26).
Addressing the leaders and activists, the Prime Minister said, 'You have to work for the development of the country and the people.'
Prime Minister's speech writer Nazrul Islam briefed the journalists.
Bangladesh Awami League President Sheikh Hasina urged the leaders and activists to spread the ideals of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
The Prime Minister said, "Though the Father of the Nation was killed prematurely, his ideals remain with us. That is why I am working to implement his ideals. She also mentioned that Bangabandhu dreamed of bringing smiles to the faces of the poor and distressed people of the country.
Referring to the remarkable progress and development of Bangladesh in the last 15 years, the Prime Minister said that it was possible to achieve this progress because they (her party) were in power for a long time without interruption.
Leaders and activists told the Prime Minister that many Bangladeshis are interested in keeping dual citizenship even if they accept Thai citizenship. They have sought the Prime Minister's intervention to maintain dual citizenship.
In response, the Prime Minister assured that she will talk to the Thai government about this.
