Says Muhith
The government is walking on the right path to root out terrorism and militancy as a vested quarter has been trying to hamper the country's progress and prosperity by carrying out militant attacks, said Finance Minister AMA Muhith yesterday.
Actions will be taken against the militants immediately after they are identified, he told journalists after a meeting with newly-elected executive committee of the Bangladesh Civil Service Economic Association (BCSEA) at his ministry.
