Pakistan lovers who conspire against us won't be successful: Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina

Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday said that her country opposes all "collaborators of Pakistani occupation forces and those who still love Pakistan". She also declared they "who are out to foil Bangladesh's hard-earned independence and turn the country into a failed state" will never be allowed to be successful.

"The collaborators of the Pakistani occupation forces and those who still love Pakistan are out to foil Bangladesh's hard-earned independence and turn the country into a failed state. But we will not allow their conspiracies to be successful," Dhaka Tribune quoted Hasina as having said while speaking as part of a discussion, organised by the Awami League, at the Bangabandhu International Conference Centre.

Sheikh Hasina recalled the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War and said that the people fought and died in the war to liberate the country against Pakistan. "Our goal was to remain above Pakistan anyhow on all fronts - economic, social, and cultural. We are in a better position than everybody else. We must keep up this success," the Bangladesh Prime Minister said
