Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday said the perpetrators of the heinous attacks carried out on journalists on October 28 won't be spared, reports UNB.
"The country had witnessed a lot of movements and struggles. But there is no incident of attacking journalists in such a targeted way (in any movement). The attacks were attempted to murder as they targeted the journalists to hit their heads. I have no words to regret it," she said.
The premier made the remarks when a group of journalists, who were injured in the terrible attacks during opposition BNP's rally in Dhaka on October 28 last, met her at her official residence Ganobhaban on Thursday morning.
She said the perpetrators of such heinous acts will not be spared. "The culprits have to be brought to justice by scrutinising the image and video footages of the incidents," she added.
Saying that attacks were also carried out on the house of the Chief Justice, judges' quarters and on-duty police members, Hasina commented, "There is no previous instance of attacking the house of the Chief Justice."
"The order givers (of such heinous acts) also must face the music," she went on. The premier asked the people of the country to stay alert as conspiracies are being hatched at home and abroad to thwart the upcoming general election scheduled for January 7.
