'42 pillars of Padma bridge is a reflection of brave Bangladesh'

News Desk: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said, "The government was not disappointed that the construction of the Padma Bridge was delayed for two years due to conspiracy." He further said, “42 pillars are a reflection of a competitive Bangladesh. Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman said, "No one can keep the Bengalis in check." Couldn't. We have won. ” Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina made the remarks in response to a written question from ruling party MP Marina Jahan in the question and answer session scheduled for her in Parliament on Wednesday. Speaker Dr. Shirin Sharmin Chowdhury presided over the question and answer session. The Prime Minister said, “The construction of our bridge has been delayed for two years due to the conspiracy, but we have not given up. We finally saw the face of light through the darkness. The dream of Padma Bridge has come true today after overcoming all the conspiracies and obstacles at home and abroad. ” He said, “This bridge involves our passion, our creativity, our courage, our endurance and our conviction. We will build this bridge, that was the insistence. We finally saw the face of light through the darkness. Red, blue, green and golden lights are shining on Padma's chest. ” Sheikh Hasina said, “After the Awami League government came to power in 1996, an initiative was taken to build the Padma Bridge. On July 4, 2001, I officially laid the foundation stone of the Padma Bridge at Mawa Point. But when the BNP-Jamaat coalition government came to power in 2001, it stopped building bridges at the Mawa end. They asked the Japanese government to conduct another survey for the Padma Bridge at the Aricha end of Manikganj. After the second survey, Japan submitted a report on the construction of the Padma Bridge, specifying the Mawa border. ” Natini said, “The World Bank, ADB, JICA and IDB have suspended loan agreements alleging corruption in the recruitment process of consulting firms to oversee the construction of various packages of the project. In 2016, the World Bank announced a return to the project after allegations of corruption were proved false in a court in Toronto, Canada. However, in the interest of the country and the people, we took a bold decision to implement the Padma Bridge with the government's own funds without taking a loan from the World Bank. Today, the bridge is not a dream, it is a visible reality. Expressing gratitude at the inauguration of the Padma Bridge, Sheikh Hasina said, "I am happy, proud and overwhelmed with millions of people. Ignoring many obstacles and breaking the web of conspiracy, Pramatta has built a bridge on the chest of Padma today. This bridge is not just a brick-cement-steel-iron-concrete infrastructure, it is a symbol of our pride, our pride, our ability and dignity. This bridge belongs to the people of Bangladesh. ” Meanwhile, in response to a question from Jatiya Party MP Syed Abu Hossain, the Prime Minister said, "The government is trying to keep the prices of commodities affordable by keeping the wheel of the economy in motion. Highlighting various steps taken by the government to control the prices of commodities, he said, "As a result of the steps taken by the government, the prices of essential commodities have started stabilizing."
