‘Enemies' still hatching plots to kill me
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday in parliament said her “enemies” are still hatching conspiracies to kill her and her party leaders as they tried to do during the August 21 grenade attack.
“You have noticed that enemies are now desperate to foil the ongoing trial of war criminals.
“That is why I am saying that the grenade attack on August 21 was not the end. Plans are still going on to launch attacks and kill,” she said.
Replying to lawmakers' queries, Hasina, also leader of the House, urged her party leaders and activists, irrespective of where they are, to keep watch on the “entire situation very carefully”.
She, however, did not name or elaborate about the enemies.
On the grenade attack case follow-up, Hasina hoped that the trial would be completed within the specific timeframe.
On her government's plan to industrialise the country, she said, “A study is going on to manufacture sedan cars in the country.”
She also said the industries ministry formulated necessary rules to set up an environment-friendly ship breaking industry with the hope that this industry would play a significant role in eradicating poverty and gain economic growth.
MODERNISING THE ARMED FORCES
Replying to another query, Hasina informed the House in detail about her government's various ongoing and future plans to modernise the Bangladesh army, navy and air force.
The process is going on to transform the Army Security Unit into Army Security and Intelligence Organisation and increase its manpower and that of Army Embarkation Unit, she said.
Hasina informed the JS that her government already approved formation of a new commando unit, SWADS Command, having 953 personnel and 92 vehicles, under the navy, to launch anti-militant and anti-terrorist operations around the country's maritime boundary.
“The process is underway for the approval of organising structures of BNS Bijoy, BNS Dhaleshwary and BNS Anusandhan for the navy,” she added.
