Bangladesh: WB's refusal to fund Padma Bridge was blessing in disguise, Anisul

DHAKA, 27 July 2022, (TON): Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Anisul Huq said “the World Bank's decision to withdraw itself from funding the Padma Bridge was a blessing in disguise.”

He said "our self-respect has gone way up after constructing the bridge with our own funding. Our confidence in ourselves has become more robust. Father of the nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman had said none will be able to suppress us anymore. We have reached that stage.”

The law minister said this while addressing as special guest a function to unveil the cover of a book titled "Our Padma Bridge by Our Money", edited by Foreign Minister AK Abdul Momen at Foreign Service Academy in the capital.
