Hasina said the government has taken various programmes to ensure higher education of students. “We’re doing this so that the children get modern education.” Describing Islam as a religion of peace, she said, “Islam never permits the killing of innocent people and suicide attempt.”
The Prime Minister said those who have taken the wrong path of militancy and terrorism are maligning Islam.
