UNB, Dhaka :
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday urged mothers to take good care of their children so that they do not go to the wrong path.
“Parents need to pay extra attention to their children so that don’t walk on the wrong path of militancy and terrorism, and resort to drug addiction…mothers have the greater responsibility…I want mothers to pay extra attention to their children,” she said. The Prime Minister said this while addressing the national council of Bangladesh
Mohila Awami League as the chief guest at Krishibid Institution, Bangladesh.
She said, militancy has emerged as a new menace across the globe and it was very much regrettable that girls are being involved in it. “Islam is a religion of peace, Islam never permits killing people, I don’t know how these people are maintaining Islam through killing.” Putting emphasis on united efforts of all to eliminate militancy and terrorism, Hasina advised mothers to behave like friends with their children from their tender age and educate them about the ill effects of these menaces.
The Prime Minister reiterated zero tolerance stance of her government against terrorism and militancy saying there would be no room for these social vices on Bangladesh soil. She asked the leaders and workers of Mohila Awami League to portrait her government’s development activities among the country’s womenfolk so that the party could win the next national election to maintain the existing pace of development.
She also asked them to supplement the government steps for the development of women alongside strengthening their organisation. The Prime Minister said all the leaders and workers should work with sincerity, honesty and dedication so that the government could turn the country into a middle-income digital nation by 2021 and a prosperous and developed one by 2041. Praising Mohila Awami League for its glorious role in every movement from its inception, Hasina said they should work for removing the sufferings and miseries of the womenfolk.
The Prime Minister said, she understands the problems of women, and the government is implementing various programs to remove those, including giving them various allowances like widow allowance and allowance for the women abandoned by husbands. Presided over by Mohila Awami League President Ashrafunnesa Musharraf, the function was addressed, among others, by its General Secretary Fazilatunnesa Indira. Earlier, the Prime Minister inaugurated the council through raising the national flag.
