Textile and Jute Mill Minister Zahangir Kabir Nanak has said Bangladesh is playing a vital role in global politics under the leadership of Prime Minister (PM) Sheikh Hasina.
"Sheikh Hasina's honesty has been praised globally and Bangladesh is now a role model of development in the world," he remarked last night at a meeting with the city unit Awami League at the party office here, reports BSS.
The minister said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has changed the fate of Bangladesh while the previous governments changed their fortunes only.
Nanak, who is also a presidium member of Awami League, said Bangabandhu's daughter Sheikh Hasina is the most courageous and honest politician in the history of the last 43 years.
Under her dynamic leadership, Bangladesh achieved remarkable progress in the last 15 years, he said, adding that now Bangladesh has changed a lot than it was 15 years ago.
With the homecoming of Sheikh Hasina, democracy was freed from confinement, he added.
He said the nation saw the trial of war criminals and the killers of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as Sheikh Hasina returned home.
The country also witnessed massive development, including the construction of the Padma Bridge and metro rail, he said.
Chaired by city unit Awami League president and KCC Mayr Talukder Abdul Khaleque, the meeting was addressed, among others, by Parliament member of Khulna-3 constituency S M Kamal Hossain, city unit general secretary M D A Babul Rana, Al leaders freedom fighters Shyamol Singha Roy, Nur Islam Band, Mokbul Hossain Mintu, advocate Ayub Ali Sheikh and Mahbub Alam Sohag.
