PM pays tribute to Shinzo Abe

Prime Minister (PM) Sheikh Hasina on Monday said Japan's assassinated Prime Minister Shinzo Abe always stood by Bangladesh and played a very significant role in the country's economic development, reports UNB.
"I can't understand why a good personality like Abe was attacked and brutally killed," she wondered.
The prime minister said this while speaking on a condolence motion that was placed at the cabinet meeting remembering Abe.
The meeting was held at the cabinet room of Cabinet Division at the Secretariat, while the PM joined it virtually from her official residence Ganobhaban.
Hasina paid tribute to Abe calling him as a very sensitive, patriotic and real politician.
"The people of Bangladesh can never think that such heinous act of killing could happen in a country like Japan," she said.
She also expressed profound shock and sorrow at the dreadful killing of Abe. Abe was fatally shot on July 8 while addressing a campaign rally in Japan's Nara city.
The PM mentioned that Bangladesh observed one-day state mourning while prayers were offered in various religious institutions of the country for Abe.
