The government must punish arsonists and masterminds to stop violence: Sheikh Hasina

Today, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina declared that they would make sure that no one could ever again burn people to death while they were still alive by punishing arsonists and those who planned such horrible crimes with extreme severity.

“We are taking required measures against the arsonists and their masters so that none can burn the people to death and such heinous acts,” she said.

The premier made the remarks while speaking at a post-election greeting and view exchange meeting with leaders and activists of Kotalipara AL and associate bodies in Kotalipara Upazila Chattar here.

Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s younger daughter and prime minister’s younger sister Sheikh Rehana was present.

The president of the ruling Awami League (AL), Sheikh Hasina, stated that many of the individuals responsible for the arson attacks and their bosses have already been prosecuted, and that the other individuals need to be apprehended after carefully examining the CCTV camera footage that is currently accessible everywhere.

“None of those who have done such heinous acts will be spared. We are currently taking measures against them and will continue the legal actions against others,” she said.

The Prime Minister came down heavily on the BNP-Jamaat clique for their activities for what they call democracy, saying, “Their movement means burning people to death alive and torching vehicles, including buses and trains.” She said they did the same thing this time in the name of movement to prevent the 12th parliamentary election what they had done in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
