Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said any Awami League party councillors do not want her in the party, then she will leave the leadership.

“If any councillor doesn’t want me, I will remove myself from the leadership,” she said this afternoon while briefing media over her visit to United Kingdom and United States.

The premier also said the AL council will be held before the national elections.

She also urged the people of the country to not be worried and vowed to overcome all the economic challenges.

The premier noted that she wanted to maintain Bangladesh economy’s growth momentum despite the challenges posed by Covid-19 pandemic, and the Russia-Ukraine war.

On dwindling foreign currency reserves, the premier assured that there was nothing to worry about and there is no risk.

The Rohingya refugee crisis issue was also on the Prime Minister’s agenda during her US tour and the PM said she urged the United Nations to take measures to resolve the crisis.

During her recent participation in the UN General Assembly, she talked about the concerned officials and called for a solution to the crisis, she added.

Bangladesh is now hosting over one million Rohingya refugees from Myanmar.
