PM-CALL-RUMOUR-DENGUE 2 DHAKA
The prime minister said a vested quarter is beating people to death by
spreading rumours.
“A mother was beaten to death through spreading rumours and what is the
situation of her child today?,” she said.
“So, it’s my call to all not to take law in your own hands. If you think
anyone guilty, not to beat him/her to death, rather hand over him/her to the
police,” she added.
Sheikh Hasina, also the AL president, said after investigations proper
actions will be taken against those found guilty.
The premier said beating innocent people to death after hearing the rumours
is an act of sine. “It’s similar to killing,” she said.
In this connection, she requested the newspapers and electronic media not
to mislead the people by disseminating false news.
“There will be a request of mine to the newspapers and electronic media not
to misguide the people by disseminating news not knowing the real
information,” she said.
