She also emphasized India’s assistance in the 1971 Liberation War. Bangladesh’s prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, wrote to India, saying, “We are very lucky…India is our trusted friend.” They aided us in the Liberation War… Following the loss of our entire family in 1975, they provided us with housing. So, we send our warmest regards to the Indian people.

PM Hasina recounted the horrors of her family’s massacre in 1975, in which her whole family was killed and she lived in exile in India for years. she later returned to Bangladesh and took over the Awami League.
After casting her vote in the ongoing general elections, Hasina emphasised the importance of democracy for the development of the country on Sunday and said that her government in past years has established people’s democratic rights.
“Our country is sovereign and independent…We have a big population. We have established people’s democratic rights…I want to make sure that democracy should continue in this country and without democracy, you can’t make any development. As we are a long-term democratic system from 2009 to 2023, that is why Bangladesh made this much of an achievement,” she said.
PM Hasina also underscored that her government created an atmosphere where people are able to come out and vote.
