Seeing that the relations between Bangladesh and the United States are moving forward, the Foreign Minister Dr. Hasan Mahmud commented that BNP is passing sleepiness nights.
He said that US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Donald Lu came on this visit to promote relations with Bangladesh. He spoke with me about how to take the relationship forward in the bilateral meeting. He has even expressed his intention to return GSP benefits to us if we reform in some areas. At the same time they have a special fund aimed at overcoming the global economic recession. He also said to help us from there. Our relationship with the US is very good. We are working to move the relationship forward. That is why the BNP's head is worse.
The foreign minister said these things while addressing the chief guest at the discussion meeting organized on the occasion of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's 44th Homecoming Day at Kazi Deuri International Convention Hall in Chattogram city on Saturday (May 18) afternoon. Chattogram Metropolitan Awami League organized this discussion meeting.
BNP is a fraudulent political party. Hasan Mahmud said, you remember that on October 28 last year, the BNP presented Joe Biden's fake advisor. When the fake adviser is in the BNP office, he only speaks English. When the police took him away, I saw him babbling Bengali.
He said that the BNP had forged the signatures of the US Congressmen. At that time India's Amit Shah called. Amit Shah's office said he did not call anyone; the voice that was released was not Amit Shah's. Seeing the development progress of the country, BNP and their allies are upset. Sometimes I see that the GM Quader also gets upset.
The minister said, before the elections, we saw that BNP used to visit different embassies every day. And they used to court, so that the election could be stopped, but to no avail. The election was held, 42 percent of the people voted. Had it not been foggy and bitterly cold on Election Day, more people would have voted.
He said, Bangladesh has had a very good election. If the election was not good, then the government or the head of state of 80 countries of the world would not have congratulated our Prime Minister. The President of the United States wrote a letter congratulating and said, "We want to take the relationship with Bangladesh to new heights." Two days ago the Prime Minister of Australia also congratulated our Prime Minister. This is why the BNP is upset. Perhaps that is why BNP leader Dr. Moin Khan is talking like an astrologer.
Senior BNP leader at age with respect to Moin Khan, the foreign minister said that he has started performing the duties of an astrologer outside of politics. Moin Khan's father Abdul Momen Khan was the Food Secretary when Bangabandhu was ruling the country. His father manipulated the return of food ships from the Indian Ocean, causing food shortages in the country. Abdul Momen Khan was instrumental in making Bangabandhu unpopular by creating a food crisis. As a reward, Ziaur Rahman made Abdul Momen Khan a food adviser with the status of a minister after seizing power. After the election of 1979, Abdul Momen Khan said in a speech in parliament as the food minister that he would sell the country if needed for food. Moin Khan is his son.
Awami League joint general secretary Dr. Hashan Mahmud said, today if we want to move the country forward, if we want to realize the dreams of the people of Bangladesh, the only alternative to people's leader Sheikh Hasina is Sheikh Hasina, there is no other alternative in this country. He showed the nation a dream of Digital Bangladesh. That dream has come true. Our slogan in 2018 was My Village My City. Today villages have become like cities, there is no difference between village and city.
He said, this time we have given the slogan 'Smart Bangladesh'. Smart Bangladesh means Smart Society, Smart Economy, Smart Governance and Smart People. We want to create Smart Bangladesh with these four components. Inshallah, under the leadership of People's Leader Sheikh Hasina, we will win this campaign too. But the BNP and their allies want to block our march. That is why there are various conspiracies.
