Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina urged the people to resist acts of terrorism so as to exercise their voting rights peacefully in the ongoing upazila parishad elections.
 “I call upon the people of the country to resist any kind of terrorist act to enable the voters exercise their franchise peacefully,” she said replying to a supplementary question of MA Awal (Laxmipur-1) during the PM’s question hour in Parliament Wednesday.
The Leader of the House also called upon the people to remain alert and say no to the terrorists and militants. “Reject the terrorists and militants,” she said, adding that the role of the mass people is very important in this respect.
She said that the government has taken necessary steps and would continue its efforts so that no terrorist act could occur during the ongoing 4th upazila parishad elections across the country.
