After handing over 22 thousand 101 families with new houses along with land, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said, ‘We have done the initial cooperation. It is your responsibility to make a living for the rest of your life. We want you to improve your condition and have a better life from here.
The Prime Minister said these things while handing over the houses in different upazilas of the country via video conference from Ganobhaban on Wednesday (August 9).
In the morning, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina attended a virtual ceremony in three upazilas from her official residence Ganabhaban and handed over land along with houses to the beneficiaries. The Prime Minister directly interacted with the beneficiaries of the Barasat Sonar Bangla Palli Asharyan Project in Terkhada Upazila of Khulna District, Chakla Asharyan-2 Project in Bara Upazila of Pabna and Amanullahpur Asharyan Project in Begumganj of Noakhali.
The Prime Minister said, I have lost all my parents and siblings. I came in 1981 and found the people of this country as my people. I found lost parents and siblings among them. I have nothing else to get. I am working to change the fate of the people of this country. I am giving land and new houses to the poor, helpless, landless and homeless families.
He said, Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman started this work. He did this at Poragacha in Lakshmipur. His work is what we are continuing now. There is no father, whom he has entrusted with sheltering in the firewood, no peasant leader Abdur Rob Serniabat. Surely my father is watching this work from heaven, being happy. We want not one person to be carelessly neglected, the people my Father loves the most.
While thanking those who were involved in the activities of this Asharyan-2 project, the Prime Minister said that they accomplished many impossible things including rescuing land and building houses. I thank you and thank you.
Through the transfer of 22 thousand 101 houses, 12 more districts became homeless and landless. In the meantime, 123 more upazilas of 41 districts were declared homeless and landless under the Asharyan-2 project. As a result, the total number of upazilas will be 334 and with these 12 districts, the total number of completely homeless and landless districts will be 21.
