Tuku vows to fight terrorism
State Minister for Home Shamsul Haque Tuku yesterday said no compromise would be made with terrorism and militancy.
Terrorists as well as militants and their masterminds must be punished, he said.
The state minister said this as the chief guest at the inaugural function of a week-long tree fair at Santhia upazila here.
He vowed to fight terrorism and asked the police and other law enforcers to play their proper role in keeping the law and order stable in the country.
“All the criminals and the terrorists must be punished. If the terrorists even belong to the ruling party, steps must be taken against them. Law enforcers must be aware of their duty. No reluctance in this regard would be tolerated,” Tuku said.
“There would be no compromise with militancy and terrorism. If terrorists are the relatives or the party men, they would be punished. We have to root out militancy and terrorism from the country.”
The state minister distributed cheques among 70 education institutions of the upazila.
He also inaugurated a 50-bed hospital in the upazila.
Santhia Upazila Parishad Chairman Nizam Uddin chaired the programme while Santhia Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Abdur Razzak and Santhia Municipality Mayor Mirazul Islam also spoke.
