 Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Tuesday reiterated that she returned home with only a goal to bring smiles on the faces of the country's people.
"I returned home to bring smiles on the people's faces, because, it was my father's (Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman) dream," she said.
The premier made this remark while speaking at the meeting of National Economic Council (NEC) at NEC auditorium in city's Sher-E-Banglanagar coinciding with her home coming day.

She said, "I've got confidence, love and trust of the people of Bangladesh."
