UNB, Dhaka :
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina here on Thursday sought the wholehearted cooperation of people in freeing the country from terrorism, militancy and drug addiction.
“The goal ahead of us is to expedite the country’s development through implementing various development initiatives by curbing terrorism and militancy, and we seek your cooperation in materialising this goal,” she said.
The Prime Minister said this in her introductory speech during a videoconference at her official residence Ganobhaban with local administration, public representatives and
people from all strata of four districts under Mymensingh Division.
The videoconference was arranged aiming to bolster her stance against terrorism and militancy, and highlight the various development initiatives of her government.
The PM’s videoconference, connected to 4019 points of Mymensingh, Netrakona, Jamalpur and Sherpur, reached out to some 28 lakh people.
Expressing her firm resolve that Bangladesh is marching forward and will continue to move ahead, Hasina sought the cooperation of all in turning Bangladesh into a mid-income country by 2021 and a prosperous one by 2041.
Mentioning that Islam never allows terrorism, militancy and the killing of innocent people, she said, “We’ll have to free the country’s people from these two menaces by any means.”
The Prime Minister regretted it is quite unfortunate for the entire Muslim world that although Islam is a religion of peace, solidarity, brotherhood and humanity, this sacred religion is being maligned with misdeeds, suicidal attacks, and the killing of innocent human beings by a section.
She renewed her call to all, including teachers, guardians, Alem-Ulema and professionals, to remain alert about their children. “You’ll have to keep in touch with your children so that they aren’t confused and misguided.”
Hasina also said everybody will perform their respective religions. “It’s our policy. Secularism dose not mean disbelieving in any religion and everyone will perform their respective religions,” she added.
Posing a question she said, “Why are terrorism, militancy and suicidal bomb attacks being unleashed in the country when Bangladesh is moving towards the path of light leaving behind darkness and when it is being regarded as a role model of development?”
