Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has called on the people to take a united stand against arsonists and decide whether they want Bangladesh developed or destroyed.
"I want to know from the citizens which Bangladesh they want -- debris of destruction or a developed Bangladesh," she said while addressing the 25th and last session of the 11th Parliament.
The prime minister also posed the question as to whether they wanted to continue improving living standards or not.
"If they want so, they have to send the Awami League to power again as it will be possible for the party to do so. You have voted for the ‘Boat’ and only the symbol ‘Boat’ can ensure developed life," she said, adding the BNP-Jamaat-e-Islam clique only promises destruction.
"They (opposition parties) don't want the country’s independence and the welfare of the people. That is the reality," she said.
She said the Awami League will work for the people standing by them.
Reiterating the promise to build a developed, prosperous and Smart Bangladesh by 2041, she said: "We want the country's advancement to continue."
She sought cooperation from the people so that no one could toy with their fate, urging the people to stand united against the arsonists.
"I call upon the people of the country to help the law enforcers to capture those involved in arson and criminal acts," she said.
Hasina also asked the people to burn the hands which are out to torch vehicles.
"You have to do it collectively. It will be possible to reduce the criminal acts in such ways. There is nothing to fear because their number is very few," she said.
