"World leaders should keep their word, particularly the developed countries."

"Rumors have been spread during the movement that Sheikh Hasina has fled. But I want to tell you that Sheikh Hasina has not fled, never flees."

"No one knows the pain of losing a loved one more than I do."

"I am urging the (BNP) leader to stop these bomb and grenade attacks, these acts of sabotage, and killings, of arson and damage to property."

"What do you want, that I should start crying, ‘Oh, crisis, we have a crisis!’ Do you want that?"

"The price of brinjal has gone above 110 taka. It has now come down to 80 taka. Instead of making brinjal fritters with brinjal, you can make it with other vegetables that are easily available.

"My priority is to establish this country as a poverty-free country, we have a long way to go – we have to do more. When I have been able to establish this country as a poverty-free country, a hunger-free country, a developed country, perhaps at that time, perhaps then I may say I am proud."
