Lalmonirhat, Oct 19 — The World Bank suspended funding for the Padma bridge project due to 'corruption during the BNP's tenure', prime minister Sheikh Hasina has said.
"Corruption in the communications ministry during the last BNP government led to the halting of funding," she told a public meeting at Patgram on Wednesday.
Several cases over charges of corruption had been filed against Nazmul Huda—the communications minister of the last BNP-led four-party alliance government—during the caretaker government's tenure.
On a visit to Lalmonirhat to declare officially Tin Bigha corridor open round the clock, the prime minister said the difficulties in signing of Teesta deal and swapping enclaves with India would be overcome soon.
She also inaugurated Dahagram-Angorpota power distribution line at Dahagram School ground.
After the inauguration, she assured residents of Dahagram-Angorpota enclaves that the government would provide all help to improve their living standard.
In her speech, Hasina also slammed BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia.
"We want that there are no hartals, killings or militancy in the country so that people can live peacefully. We want our people to live with pride, but Khaleda Zia wants the people of the country walk with their heads down. She lives with terrorists and criminals," she said.
