UNB, Dhaka :Asserting that she is ready for any sacrifice to establish Bangabandhu’s ideals, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday said she cares little about any conspiracy to derail her from establishing a poverty- and hunger-free ‘Sonar Bangla’ as dreamt by the Father of the Nation.”The dream of my father was to bring smile to the faces of common people through establishing a poverty- and hunger-free Sonar Bangla. I’m working on that dream, and I don’t care about any conspiracy against that,” she said. The Prime Minister was speaking at a memorial meeting organised by Bangladesh Awami League marking the National Mourning Day at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre (BICC).Recalling that the Almighty Allah repeatedly saved her several times from death, Sheikh Hasina said, “It seems the Almighty is giving me the scope to finish the unfinished works of Bangabandhu to establish Sonar Bangla.”The Awami League chief said by giving his blood Bangabandhu showed the path of freedom. “So, we’ll have to establish that ideal at the cost of any sacrifice, I’m ready for that sacrifice.”Noting that there had been so many games played with the fate of the people of this country, Hasina said the fate of the Bengalee nation has to be changed and the dream of the Father of the Nation fulfilled.After losing her parents, brothers and other nearest relatives, the Prime Minister said, she has nothing to gain personally. “Now my only desire is to change the fate of the nation for which my parents and brothers laid down their lives.”She mentioned that the entire nation got disgraced before the world with the August 15 massacre. “I want to restore the dignity of the nation and bring smile to the faces of common people as dreamt by the Father of the Nation.” Hasina said Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman dreamt of ensuring food, cloths, home, healthcare and education for all through building a poverty- and hunger-free nation. “To fulfill that dream is my only aim and I’m working to that end.””Bangladesh is marching ahead…we’re now in the lower middle-income country group and will be in the developed country group before long,” she hoped. Talking about Ziaur Rahman’s link to the August 15 killing, the Prime Minister said he had given shelter to the killers, destroyed the spirit of the independence, rehabilitated the war criminals and destroyed the ideals on which the country was built.
