All-out efforts on to restore peace: PM
Monday, 2 February 2015
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said Sunday her government was continuing its all-out efforts to restore peace in the country and renewed her call to BNP, Jamaat and other partners of the 20-party alliance to shun the destructive acts asserting that the Bengali nation would never concede defeat to terrorists, reports UNB.
"We're continuing our efforts so that peace is restored in the country and there is no reoccurrence of bombings, burning people and such subversive acts. I'm urging again the BNP-Jamaat to refrain from such a kind of subversive acts," she said.
The Prime Minister was addressing the inauguration ceremony of the month-long Ekushey Book Fair-2015 and the four-day Second International Literary Conference-2015 on the Bangla Academy premises in the afternoon.
Regarding the deferment of SSC exams, Hasina said her government did not want to put the examinees at risk since the perpetrators and the miscreants even did not bother about the lives of children and it was very unfortunate.
With Emeritus Prof Dr Anisuzzaman in the chair, the function was also addressed, among others, by Cultural Affairs Minister Asaduzzaman Noor.
The Prime Minister also distributed Bangla Academy Literary Award-2014 among seven eminent poets, writers and educationists for their contributions to various disciplines.
