Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday said the people of the country are now reaping the benefits of democracy as they got back their state power from the cantonment.

"Military dictators had grabbed the state power frequently in the past ... once the state power was in the cantonment ... As a result, there was no [required] pace in development," she said.

The PM said this while addressing the National Economic Council meeting virtually from the Gono Bhaban.
