I make my own tea and coffee in the morning: PM

Dhaka: The Prime Minister and Leader of the House, Sheikh Hasina, said: “I wake up in the morning to find Jainamaz.” I wake up and pray.

Then I recite the Quran. Then I make myself a cup of tea. I make my own tea. I make tea, I make coffee. I do it myself.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina made the remarks in response to a question from opposition MP Fakhrul Imam in the National Assembly on Wednesday (September 9). Before, said the speaker. The session began with Shirin Sharmin Chowdhury in the chair.

The Prime Minister said, “I have a younger sister at home.” Whoever gets up first does. Now my daughter has dolls. He who wakes up before going to sleep does. We eat alone. Before that, as soon as I got up, I made the bed with my own hands.

Said, “After that, I read books.” These days I go for a walk in the morning because of the corona virus. But let’s do something else now. There is a lake in Ganobhaban. When I go for a walk, when I sit by the lake at the end of the walk, I sit down with a sip and fish.

You work, this poor farmer pays you, the workers of this land pay you. Your family lives on this money. I drove the car with that money. He spoke with respect. He spoke with respect, they are the owners. Referring to this quote from Imam Bangabandhu, Fakhrul said, “Does the government still rely on these words or not?”

In this regard, said the leader of Parliament, inspired by this ideal of Bangabandhu, but we also believe in it. We have learned this way since childhood. My father had instructions. You have to talk to a rickshaw shooter. The chauffeur of the house must be called sir chauffeur. And people who work can never be called servants. It cannot be asked. You have to ask them with respect. I can still be the Prime Minister, if I have to ask someone for a glass of water (as much as I can) I ask if they can give me a glass of water. We have brought this lesson. Keep complying. This is the parent’s education. Not just what he said. This teaching has also accompanied us. So from that point of view, I think people can ignore him if he looks poor or doesn’t wear good clothes, but we don’t have that. We all have the same respect. Instead, we pay a little more attention to those who have nothing.
