Those, who celebrate 'false' birthday on August 15, can do no welfare for the country: Sheikh Hasina

Posted: 17 Aug 2011 11:01 AM PDT



Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, on Tuesday said that the people who had looted funds meant for orphans through Zia Foundation and misappropriated public money could never work for welfare of the people. Speaking at a discussion marking the National Mourning Day, Sheikh Hasina, president of the Awami League, castigated the opposition leader Khaleda Zia for celebrating a 'fake birthday' on August 15, the day the country's founding president Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was assassinated. Sheikh Hasina said the BNP chairperson started celebrating a 'fake birthday on August 15 since 1996 and added that that only a person of low mentality could make fun of the National Mourning Day. She said that Khaleda's celebrating the fake birthday on the National Mourning Day was nothing but an expression of her solidarity with the killers of Bangabandhu. Sheikh Hasina said, those, who cheer by celebrating 'false' birth day on national mourning day, can do no welfare for the country. She also said that unbridled corruption by the previous Bangladesh Nationalist Party-led government was responsible for the bad shape of the road network, power crisis and other problems. She said her government was trying to tackle the situation. Bangladesh Awami League organised the discussion at the Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in observance of the 36th anniversary of death of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. 'They [BNP] looted the fund of Zia Foundation brought from abroad in the name of orphans. Her [Khaleda] sons were involved in money laundering. How can they work for the welfare of the country,' said the prime minister. She said Ziaur Rahman had rewarded the killers of Bangabandhu by giving them jobs [in the country's missions] abroad and gave them indemnity. 'But the trial of the killers could not be stopped.' 'The BNP called hartal on the day the verdict in the Bangabandhu murder case was pronounced and tried to stand in the way of the trial,' said Sheikh Hasina. Sheikh Hasina yesterday said the aim of her government is to ensure the economic emancipation of people as Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman led the country to independence in 1971. "Now our aim is to attain economic emancipation," she told. She said her government is providing subsidy on fuel, electricity and food grains so that the people of the country can live a better life. "We are providing subsidy to ensure that the prices of essentials remain under the commoners' reach." In this connection, Sheikh Hasina said her government is continuing OMS and fair price cards and such other measurers to ensure food for the poor. "We're trying hard to ensure a good, peaceful environment so that all can have an enjoyable Eid, and I seek cooperation from you all," she said. Referring to various conspiracies, she said people should remain alert so that no vested quarter could snatch their rights. Admitting that the country was experiencing some problems, she said her government was trying to solve them. 'It is true there are problems in the country, including bad shape of roads and highways, power crisis and price hike and the government is trying to tackle them to ease the people's suffering,' she said. Sheikh Hasina also said that the government was giving subsidy to power, food and agriculture sectors and giving 10 kilograms of rice free of cost to the poor in the month of Ramadan. Presided over by deputy leader of the opposition Syeda Sajeda Chowdhury, AL leader Suranjit Sengupta, Agriculture Minister Matia Chowdhury, AL general secretary and LGRD Minister Syed Ashraful Islam, former Home Minister Mohammad Nasim, DU VC AAMS Arefin Siddique, Workers Party chief Rashed Khan Menon, JSD chief Hasanul Huq Inu, Industries Minister Dilip Barua, AL leaders MA Aziz and Mofazzal Hossain Chowdhury Maya, among others, spoke at the meeting. Earlier, a one-minute silence was observed to show respect to Bangabandhu and others killed in the August 15 massacre.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday directed the communications ministry to immediately repair all dilapidated highways so that home-bound people do not face any trouble during Eid travel. "Start repair work in full swing with the money you got. Necessary additional money will be given gradually," she directed. The meeting sources said Sheikh Hasina asked the finance ministry to release the fund allocated for repair and maintenance of highways without much delay, and told the communications minister to make sure that the fund is used properly. The meeting was convened against the backdrop of transport strikes on various routes including Dhaka- Mymensingh and Dhaka- Tangail highways protesting the sorry state of the roads. At the prime minister's meeting, Sheikh Hasina also directed Bangladesh Railway officials to improve train services to give comfort to passengers during Eid travel. She told the railway officials to reserve one compartment in each passenger train for carrying commodity goods including vegetables, so supply chain to Dhaka markets remains smooth. Sheikh Hasina asked the communications ministry to submit a report on its expenditure for construction, development, maintenance, renovation and repair of roads and highways since 2001, so it can be assessed what were done during the tenure of BNP-Jamaat alliance government and the caretaker government, and during the first half of the present government. After the meeting, PM's Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad told reporters that the prime minister asked the communications ministry to deploy Bangladesh Road Transport Corporation (BRTC) buses on all highways of the country for convenience of the home-bound people during the Eid vacation.

Freida Pinto in desperate need for a hit

Posted: 17 Aug 2011 10:39 AM PDT


Freida Pinto created stirs with her superhit Bollywood debut with 'Slumdog Milionaire'. Since then, the girl has been busy with her Hollywood projects and making her presence felt at various international events. However, without any more hit, her aura seems to be fading and her career seriously needs a lift. Woody Allen's 'You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger' failed to impress the cinegoers. Similarly, Julian Schnabel's 'Miral' fell with a thud making just $3 million worldwide. Though director Rupert Wyatt's 'Rise of the Planet of Apes' made $ 66 million in its first week alone, she seriously needs a kick to revive her sinking career. Freida has all her hopes pinned to Tarsem Singh's 'Immortals' and Jean- Jacques Annaud's 'Black Gold' opposite Antonio Banderas. Meanwhile you check out the stunning actress on the covers of Instyle September.
