Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina asked Awami League (AL) leaders and workers to make the party stronger at the grassroots as the national election is approaching.

She made the remarks while presiding over the AL Central Working Committee (ALCWC) meeting at her official residence Ganabhaban on Thursday.

She said, “The election is approaching. So, we have to pay attention to make the Awami League (AL) stronger.” 

The Prime Minister said that it has been possible to handle the COVID-19 situation as AL is in power.

She reminded her party leaders and workers that her government has been able to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic single-handedly as the AL appeared as a strong organization at the grassroots.

The AL chief continued those relentless supports from the leaders and activists of her party and its associate bodies alongside the efforts from the government machinery that have made it possible to control the COVID-19 situation.

She, however, said though the AL leaders and activists have been standing beside the distressed people at a time when they have no work or are locked inside rooms due to Coronavirus risking their lives, no other political party stands by them rather criticizes the government and gives speeches.
