Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has slammed the individuals critical of her government and its handling of forex reserves and warned that she would shut everything down and observe the aftermath if they talk too much.

"If you talk too much, I would shut down everything. If I return to power after the election, I would do it (resume their operation) again. I want to see who dares to take over... the power," she told a press conference at Ganabhaban on Friday.

Referring to criticisms over the elections and dwindling forex reserves, Sheikh Hasina said, "After arranging everything, I have to hear so-called witty sentences about the election, voting, and the economy. But I do not want to hear them."

She held the press briefing to share her experiences at the United Nations (UN), the United States (US), and the United Kingdom (UK).

Responding to a question on forex reserves, Sheikh Hasina said, "I did not come to this country today; I am 77. I joined processions at the age of 15-16, so how long is my political career? I have been participating in processions since my school life and have continued to do so. I have lost everything, including my parents and siblings, and have nothing more to lose. I did not come here to gain anything or take anything."

Noting that developments here did not come out of thin air, the prime minister said all (the foreigners) used to give a snobbish expression hearing about Bangladesh, but the scenario has changed now. They now see Bangladesh with special dignity and consider it a role model for development.

She attributed the success to the Awami League government and its pragmatic steps.
Regarding the waning forex reserves, she said, "Many people can make different statements regarding the forex reserve. If it triggers such a large-scale discussion, I will bring it down to the level I found when forming the government and will go into the election. I will pull it up (after the election) but want to show the people what the previous situation was like."
"Should I decrease the electricity supply from the current 100 per cent to 28 per cent? Let everyone experience what the situation was like (during the BNP government). We forget everything. I had asked the power minister to cause load shedding for some time daily so that people can keep the issue of load shedding in mind. They will have to buy fuel to run generators," she added.

Sheikh Hasina reminded everyone of the amount of forex reserves in 2009. "We formed the government in 2009. Prior to that, there were many so-called learned people in power. But what was the amount of foreign currency reserves? It was $0.77 billion, not even one billion. What was the amount of reserves when I formed the government in 1996? It was perhaps $2.5 million, not even close to a billion. Whenever it increased, we did it during our tenure."
She continued, saying, "Now, If you say we need to increase the reserve leaving the people in the dark, let us shut down the power plants, stop the supply of water and fertiliser. There will be a handsome amount of forex reserves if everything is closed. What is the priority? Maintaining a healthy reserve or the comfort and well-being of the people?"

Isko kya ho gaya ab?

Ye Pagal ho Gayi. She is power hungry. She thinks only the descendants of Mujib are entitled to lead the country, even it leads to Hell.

All are Indian psychological training when she fled to India after the death of her father. She was under the protection of Pranab Mukherjee who became Indian President.

RAW taught her all the heinous things. She talks like a mad woman also because she hates to be tried and hanged for the Pilkhana BDR killing.

She even organized the Grenade Attack that killed her own party people. She wanted to raise the BAL and her popularity in a heinuous method.

Now, she has lost her nerve because all these thoughts of losing power and its consequence after that makes her crazy.

Hasina should be sent to a mental asylum/ Mad House.

Joy Bangladesh!! She talks about power supply that she will decrease it to teach people. But the reality is, power supply will be automatically reduced because the country has little dollar money to pay for new imports.

She knows it well and is threatening people with falsified allegations.

She should be sent to Pabna Mental Hospital, unfit to be a PM. She has made BD a totalitarian state like North Korea.

Bad translation?

What is the priority? Maintaining a healthy reserve or the comfort and well-being of the people?"

Well... valid point. Reserves provide a cushion for more financial stability but are also pointless beyond a point.
The reason why BD government fudged forex data was likely because of this. They gave loans from reserves to make them useful, or else it's just money which wouldn't be used anywhere.

Great!!! With your profound knowledge on national economy, WB should select you as the Chief Economist of the WB.

With such a brain how can you sleep at nights? But, I am surprised that you don’t know how she misused FE. She or her thief cronies wanted to buy dollars by paying their stolen Taka.

So, she ordered the Bangladesh Bank to sell dollars to them. She used part of this money to build the Paira Port in Barisal.

And you are here finding out many lame excuse that will surprise even Modi. You can demand the post of Indian Finance Minister to help Modi.

How can she shut everything down? She doesn't own Bangladesh. She is just a public servant who needs peoples vote to be elected as the prime minister of the country. She talks like an autocrat. Like father, like daughter.
