Vested quarters out to destroy democracy: PM
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday said vested quarters are out there to destroy the country’s democracy only for their personal gains.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday said vested quarters are out there to destroy the country’s democracy only for their personal gains.
“They (vested quarters) are repeatedly claiming that there is no democracy in the country, those who are saying this get some attention during emergency and military regimes, they are trying to destroy the country’s democratic system for their personal gains,” she said.
The PM made the remarks while delivering her introductory speech at the AL National Committee, comprising of presidents and secretaries of 78 organising districts and central AL committee members, at her official residence Ganabhaban.
She claimed that there is no one who could uphold the democratic rights of the people except AL.
“Let me ask them, where is the dearth of democracy,” she said.
