‘We cannot keep doors closed in age of globalization’ 

Highlighting the benefits of transit with India, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said in the era of globalization, we cannot keep our doors closed.

Prime Minister and Leader of the House Sheikh Hasina made the remarks while giving valedictory speech in the third and budget session of the 12th parliament with Speaker Dr. Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury in the chair on Wednesday.

 She told the parliament that the Awami League doesn't sell the country rather Khaleda Zia, Ershad and Ziaur Rahman did it.

“Who had sold the country? It had done by Khaleda Zia, Ershad and Ziaur Rahman. They had sold the country. The Awami League doesn't sell the country,” she said.

In this regard, she referred to several incidents during the period of the trio that included giving a bond for selling Bangladesh's gas to India by Khaleda Zia prior to 2001 general elections.

The Prime Minister came down heavily on some opposition parties who have been making blanket allegations of selling the country to India over signing of some MoUs during her recent India visit.
