She said,
"August 15, 1975. 18 members of my family were killed. My younger sister,
Sheikh Rehana, and I survived. We were refugees for six years. A very difficult
life. In 1981, the people of the country brought me back to the country."

goal. In this election, I have made it open for everyone to choose their
candidates. The people have voted with great enthusiasm. This victory is the
victory of the people."

election because they do not have public support."

behalf of herself, her family, and the people of the country. She said,
"You will return to your respective countries and speak about our country.
