PM again warns against wrongdoing on campuses

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina again issued a warning on Saturday against wrongdoing on the campuses of educational institutions, asserting that strict actions will be taken against the wrongdoers whoever they may be, reports BSS.

"Our words are clear that we'll never tolerate any crime on campus … we didn't allow it in the past and will also not accept it in future," she said.

Sheikh Hasina was addressing as the chief guest the second conference of the Mohila Sramik League at the Krishibid Institute, Bangladesh Convention Centre in the city.

General Secretary of Bangladesh Awami League Obaidul Quader also spoke on the occasion, while President of Mohila Sramik League Raushan Jahan Sathi was in the chair.

Convener of Conference Preparation Committee and Executive President of Mohila Sramik League Suraiya Aktar delivered the welcome address, while General Secretary of the organisation Begum Shamsunnahar Bhuyan placed the organisational report.

Earlier, the prime minister inaugurated the conference by releasing pigeons and balloons.

She also hoisted the national flag, while President and General Secretary of the organisation Raushan Jahan Sathi and Begum Shamsunnahar Bhuyan raised the party flag on the occasion.

A minute's silence was observed as a mark of profound respect to the memory of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, four national leaders and martyrs of different movements including liberation war.

The prime minister said the government will take stringent action against those to be indulged in the crime on campus for the sake of maintaining education atmosphere.

"We'll take action against those to be involved in crimes. Because education atmosphere will have to be maintained on the campus," she said.

Sheikh Hasina continued saying on: "The students will have to pursue education by keeping pace with the world … they'll also have to build themselves as good citizens and take the country forward."

The premier said the government did not hesitate to take action against the killers of Abrar Fahad. "We don't see who belongs which party… we treat killers as killers, wrongdoers as wrongdoers and torturers as torturers," she added.
