No scope to spare arsonists: PM

City Desk  :
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday said there is no chance to spare the arsonists in protecting the lives and properties of the people.
“Steps will be taken against those who are involved in arson violence and vandalism. There is no option to forgive them,” she said while formally unveiling the results of Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and equivalent examination, reports BSS.
Education Minister Dr Dipu Moni and chairmen of all education boards earlier handed over the summery of the results of the HSC and equivalent examinations of 2023 to the premier.
Sheikh Hasina said BNP became isolated from the masses soon after it started resorting to arson violence in the name of movement to dislodge the government.
“We will take measures against those who are involved in arson violence and will ensure people’s safety and security,” she said
Education Minister Dr Dipu Moni and Deputy Education Minister Mohibul Hassan Chowdhoury spoke on the occasion.
Sheikh Hasina posed a question that what should the government do with the arsonists or who order or finance the arson violence?
“Will we welcome them with wreaths or will the law enforcement agencies take proper action against them? If we don’t take action against them, they will continue the arson violence,” she said.
The premier also criticized those who raises question about the arrest of arsonists, saying, “I see, many people crying why they (arsonists) are arrested but they (critics) don’t call on the arson terrorists, killers of police and people to stop their awful deeds”.
