PM urges nation to deal with criminals firmly

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has asked the countrymen to deal with those who are creating unrest in the country with an iron hand.

The PM said this while addressing the nation on the ongoing violent situation centring on the non-cooperation movement called upon by the protesters today (4 August).

In her address, the PM reportedly said, “Those who are protesting on the streets right now are not students, but terrorists who are out there to destabilise the nation.”

“My government will investigate all the killings and bring those who are responsible for the murder and violence to justice through fair trial. The students who have not taken part in the ongoing unrest will be spared,” said the PM.

Earlier yesterday, PM Hasina had requested the protesting students to sit for a dialogue with her, saying, “The doors of Ganobhaban are open. I don’t want any more violence.”
