As I have said before, democratic principles and values are at the root of Bangladesh's state status and policies. This country was born under the leadership of Awami League. And it has the glorious history of the lifelong struggle of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and other great leaders against the dictator of Pakistan. This struggle will continue and Sheikh Hasina will not bow down to any outside pressure to divert the country from democratic and fundamental freedom.
