Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said, some people become greedy. The greed for money increases so much that he has to part with the country while leaving the country and keeping it abroad. What is the profit of making that money?
The prime minister said this to a reporter's question about the country's banking sector at a press conference on her visit to India at Ganabhaban on Tuesday (June 25) at 11 am.
Sheikh Hasina said, many people think that making money is like an addiction. This is real. However, I will say that we are taking measures to solve the problems that exist. We have also made laws for that.
The head of government said that during the Awami League government, we have opened the most private sectors. Yes, some are doing well; some are doing badly in the banking sector. At times many cannot run properly. This is the traditional rule. If a bank becomes weak, it is co-opted or merged with another bank. In other words, it is the responsibility of the state to protect those who deposit there. That is what is being tried.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina visited New Delhi on June 21 on a two-day state visit at the invitation of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
This is the first bilateral visit by a head of government to India after the BJP-led coalition formed the government for the third consecutive term in the Lok Sabha elections.
Also, the visit was Sheikh Hasina's second visit to the Indian capital in less than 15 days, as she was among the dignitaries invited to Modi's swearing-in ceremony on June 9.
During the Prime Minister's visit, Dhaka and New Delhi signed 10 Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs), including seven new and three renewals, to further strengthen the growing relationship between the two neighboring countries.
