Thousands of common people joined the public rally from remote areas of Khulna division Monday for expressing their gratitude to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for changing their fates during her tenure.
Joyen uddin, a farmer of Koyra upazila in Khulna, told that we become very happy as the government has distributed water tanks, mobile water treatment plants and water purifying tablets in our salt prone coastal belt during the AL regime.
“We are very happy by getting water tanks with 3,000 liters capacity in our village. Land owners pay a little amount of wages to farmers. We will be pleased if the government takes an initiative to fix wages,” Joyen Uddin expressed his gratitude.
Abdul Hakim, a 70-year old rickshaw puller, this government has helped my grand children financially for their studies. Otherwise, I can’t be able to educate my grand children.
“I don’t have my own rickshaw. It would be better to provide rickshaws to poor people like me,” he added.
An old woman from Paikgacha upazila told that she came to Khulna yesterday to see Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Monday after many years.
“I was astonished to see tremendous development in Khulna after one decade,” she added.
While talking to BSS Md. Nazrul Islam, a businessman of Sharsha upazila in Jessore, said that after the inauguration of Benapole to Cox’s Bazar train, we can now go to Cox’s Bazar with a little cost. About the development, he said that the development of Jashore’s road is similar to the roads of Khulna.
A B Siddique, ex Joint Director of Bangladesh Bank, I’ve retired three years ago; the present government has increased the pay scale of Government banks. I am very happy with my pension I get.
“I joined the rally ignoring my illness to see my mother-Sheikh Hasina who changed the fates of millions of common people across the country,” he added.
