Stay away from wrong path
Asking students to stay away from drugs, militancy and terrorism, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday said those who will walk along this wrong path must face tough actions.
She was addressing a discussion on the occasion of the reunion of Bangladesh Chhatra League at the capital's Suhrawardy Udyan, marking its 69th founding anniversary.
She expressed her expectation that BCL leaders would give first priority to education and always remain devoted to upholding the glorious history of the organisation, according to BSS.
“There'll be student politics, but pursuing education is the prime job of BCL leaders and activists,” she said, “BCL leaders have to get prepared to run the country and the state.”
Hasina also urged the students to create awareness against the three social menaces and put up a strong resistance.
The premier said the nuisance of terrorism and militancy is a global problem although there is no place of militancy and terrorism in Islam, the religion of peace. “Islam never allows the killing. The only place of a suicide bomber is the hell. No one can go to the heaven after committing suicide.”
She also said the government will take actions against those who are misguiding the country's softhearted youths.
Coming down heavily on BNP, Ziaur Rahman and Khaleda Zia for patronising and pampering the war criminals while in power, she said they will be tried for this.
The Prime Minister said Bangabandhu prioritised education and nationalised 36,000 primary schools soon after the independence as part of rebuilding the war-ravaged country.
Hasina said steps are underway to establish at least one university in every district.
Former BCL leaders Tofail Ahmed and Obaidul Quader also took part in the discussion.
BCL President Saifur Rahman Sohag presided over the discussion conducted by General Secretary SM Jakir Hossain.
