UNB, Dhaka :
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday reiterated her call to all to stay alert so that war criminals and those who killed innocent people in the name of movement and engaged in money laundering can never return to power.
“We won’t let anyone play ducks and drakes with the fate of the people of Bangladesh…I call upon all so that war criminals, Albadars and Razakars, and those who killed innocent people in the name of movement, engaged in money laundering and looting, and embezzled the funds of orphanage can never get back to power,” she said.
Sheikh Hasina said, assuming office by these elements means looting, embezzlement of orphanage funds and siphoning off money abroad. “So, all have to stay vigil so that those who bring hardship for people can never come to power,” she said. The Prime Minister was speaking when leaders of Bangladesh Chattra League (BCL) met her at her official Ganobhaban residence in the afternoon. Hasina asked each and every leader and activist of Bangladesh Chhatra League, who believes in the ideology of Bangabandhu’s politics, to become patriotic and instill dutifulness into themselves for the welfare of the nation and country.
“You don’t need to calculate what you’ve gained in your lives, rather consider to what extent you could deliver to people,” she said asking the BCL leaders and activists to pay due attention to their academic activity
as it is also their great duty as students. Hasina, also the Awami League chief, said she wants each and every BCL leader and activist to groom himself and herself as an ideal leader and thus move ahead upholding the ideals of Bangabandhu.
“You are the future leaders…we don’t want to see any acts of terrorism, drug addiction and criminal activities, we want to see a hunger- and poverty-free ‘Sonar Bangla’ as dreamt by the Father of the Nation,” she added. The Prime Minister asked the BCL men to further strengthen the organisation, educate people in their respective areas, keep strong vigil so that no student and youth can slip into a wrong path of drug addiction and militancy, facilitate the school feeding programmes in their areas and continue efforts to reduce the rate of dropouts, read the ‘Unfinished Memoirs’ of Bangabandhu, and spread his message.
