Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina
<p>
Bangladesh has a new target: Providing home to all.</p>
<p>
According to <a href="https://www.dhakatribune.com/bangladesh/2021/08/03/pm-hasina-on-housing-for-all-everyone-will-have-an-address">Dhaka Tribune</a>, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said no one in Bangladesh will remain without shelter as her government is working to ensure access to affordable housing options for all.</p>
<p>
&quot;Everyone will get an address,&quot; the newspaper quoted her as saying. Meanwhile, through a virtual programme, she handed over newly-constructed flats among 300 families, who had been living in slums of the capital.</p>
<p>
&quot;This is the Bangladesh of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Everyone in Bangladesh will get a better life, that&rsquo;s our aim,&quot; she said, according to DT.</p>
<p>
Meanwhile, in Bangladesh the month of mourning has started. It is a reminder of the gruesome murder of Mujib&mdash;as Bangabandhu is endearingly referred to, along with several members. On the night of August 15, 1975, Rahman and 16 members of his family were brutally killed.</p>
<p>
Two of his daughters &ndash;Hasina and Sheikh Rehana who were in Germany at that time were saved.</p>
<p>
&quot;Our only responsibility is to implement his [Bangabandhu&rsquo;s] dream, I think that&rsquo;s the development of Bangladesh,&quot; she said at the function.</p>
<p>
The South Asian country under Hasina has become one of the major economic powers in the region.</p>
<p>
Hasina, who has steered her country into becoming a developing nation&mdash;Bangladesh is gearing up to graduate out of the least developed country list, promised to build a &ldquo;Golden Bangladesh.&rdquo;</p>
