Govt firm to ensure safe future for every child: PM

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said that the government is determined to ensure safe future of all children. She made the affirmation while distributing prizes among the winners of chess, drawing and cultural competitions organised by Sheikh Russell Jatiya Shishu Kishore Parishad marking the 50th birth anniversary of Sheikh Russell, the youngest son of Bangabandhu. Terming the barbaric murder of Sheikh Russell on the fateful night of August 15, 1975 as the saddest side of the carnage, Sheikh Hasina, also the elder daughter of Bangabandhu, said: ‘Killing of a child like Russell at point blank range is a most tragic side of the black night of Aug 15. We don’t want death of any child in this manner,’ she said adding, ‘We want to give them a safe future and build up each of them as worthy citizens of the country to enable them to lead the country in all spheres,’ according to a news agency.
