“The prime minister through her usual haughty tone has once again informed the nation that she does not care about the opinions of countrymen and the international community,” said the BNP leader.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday said she would not bow down to any pressure at home or from abroad.
"Sheikh Hasina does not give in to any pressure whether it is internal or external. The country is ours … We will continue the work that needs to be done for the people," Hasina said while talking to journalists after she was sworn in as PM for the third time at Bangabhaban.
