New York, Sept 25 – Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday urged expatriate Bangladeshis to strongly counter the propaganda being carried out from abroad against her government and Bangladesh.

"Give an instant befitting reply to the propaganda being carried out against us,” she told a civic reception, accorded to her by the Bangladeshi community in the USA, virtually from her place of residence here in New York.

She asked the expatriates to highlight the country’s unprecedented development that has taken place during the tenure of the Awami League government. 

She said Bangladesh has achieved so much that its nationals can move around the world keeping their heads high with dignity. 

"Uphold the image wherever you," she told the Bangladeshis living abroad.

Hasina pointed out that the relatives of the war criminals and killers of the Father of the Nation alongside the people who fled the country committing various crimes such as money laundering are behind the propaganda.

“The people, who are carrying out the propaganda on the social media, are mostly sacked from jobs for their involvement in misdeeds or fled the country committing crimes,” she said.

The PM called upon all to expose the characters and misdeeds of the people who are now lecturing others with false and fabricated information about the government and Bangladesh using social media.

“Don’t pay heed to their words (propaganda), rather raise our development  (successes and activities)  before the people,” she added.   

Hasina asked them to inform congressmen, senators and elected representatives in their locality about the development of Bangladesh and maintain communication with them. - UNB
