Stay awake like guards for growth of Bangladesh: PM to BCL

PM urges BCL to stay awake like guards

Dhaka, Sept 1 - Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Friday asked the Bangladesh Chhatra League’s (BCL) members to remain alert to thwart any conspiracy to obstruct the progress of Bangladesh.

“My Chhatra League boys and girls will be leaders of the 2041 Smart Bangladesh. I expect it from you. Bangladesh won’t stand still in 2041. I have formulated the Delta Plan-2100. So, none could obstruct the progress of Bangladesh anymore. Chhatra League will have to stay awake like sentinels,” she said.

The premier was addressing a student rally arranged by Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) in the city’s historic Suhrawardy Udyan on the occasion of the national mourning day.

She asked the BCL actuvists to carry out their study and follow the Chhatra League's main principle – education, peace and progress.

AL general secretary and former BCL president Obaidul Quader also spoke at the grand rally.

BCL President Saddam Hossain chaired the rally moderated by its general secretary Sheikh Wali Ashif Inan.

At the beginning, one-minute silence was observed to pay tribute to Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, his family members and others who were martyred on August 15, 1975. - UNB
