Awami League (AL) President Sheikh Hasina yesterday said Awami League is a people-oriented political party, not a business organisation, which runs on subscriptions of party's leaders, workers and sympathisers. "We don't do business but do politics for the welfare of the people. So, the donation and assistance that we receive from our well-wishers should not be treated as extortion," she said while talking to party leaders at her Sudha Sadan residence. | "Invest! Or else! It's for the People." |
The meeting sources said that Hasina instructed her party leaders and workers to have patience taking into consideration the situation now prevailing in the country. Hasina expressed her Deep Concern® over health condition of the party's detained General Secretary Abdul Jalil who is now undergoing treatment at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Hospital.
