Leader of the House and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina during Wednesday`s question-and-answer session. FOCUS BANGLAPrime Minister Sheikh Hasina has hinted once again that there will be no talks with the BNP.
“Reaching the touch of development to the village level is our big achievement. Who did huff here or whose sulk I will go to break I don’t know that,” she told the parliament on Wednesday.
The leader of the House’s remarks came while responding to a supplementary raised by Jatiya Party MP Fakhrul Imam whether the government will take any initiatives for minimizing differences or breaking huff of anybody, reports BSS.
Recalling the incident of not allowing her to enter the Gulshan offices of the BNP leader after the death of Khaleda Zia’s younger son, Hasina said: “I can say I’ve no intention to be insulted again while going to show any sympathy.”
“There is no question of political huff here, rather it’s a question of political policy and decision and the law as well,” she said.
Anybody does injustice and embezzles orphans’ money or commits murder or grenade attack or hurls petrol bomb, he or she will be tried and it’s natural, Hasina said in a clear reference to her archrival BNP chief Khaleda Zia, now in jail for corruption.
The Leader of the House said the country witnessed tremendous development in the last 10 years as her government selflessly worked for the welfare of the people.
“No other government made such development in the past as personal and group interest was there,” she said.
The prime minister said she does not consider her personal gain, rather “I consider how much we could serve to the people.”
