You know many people have done it. When you do a program and I do not have money, tell me. I will personally inform the leader (Sheikh Hasina), and she will fulfill all your demands. We will develop Olma League as a tested and disciplined organization of Sheikh Hasina want.”
The Olma League has been trying to secure the status of an affiliate body of the ruling party for more than two decades.
