Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina put forward the 'peace' model, inspired by her own life experience.
"During my half a century in politics, I have always been a crusader of peace. I believe that peace is achievable with the removal of injustice," she had said in 2008.
According to her these injustices include repression and absence of rule of law, inequality and economic disparity, deprivation and poverty, suppression of self determination, denial of secularism and multi-ethnicity, negligence of equal rights for women and the marginalised, as well as the lack of transparency and accountability of governments.
