PM questions about BUET student movement after meeting demands
DHAKA, Oct 12, 2019 (BSS) – Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today questioned
about the justification of continuing movement on Bangladesh University of
Engineering and Technology (BUET) campus after meeting the demands of the
students by its authorities following the killing of BUET student Abrar
Fahad.
“The BUET vice-chancellor has accepted the 10-point demand of the students
following the murder. After that the students have said they’ll continue
their movement … I don’t know what could be its rationality after
fulfillment of their demand?” she said.
The prime minister simultaneously reissued a strong warning against
wrongdoing on the campus of the educational institutions, asserting that
strict actions will be taken against the wrongdoers whoever might be.
“Our words are clear that we’ll never tolerate any crime on campus … we
didn’t allow it in the past and will also not accept it in future,” she said.
Sheikh Hasina was addressing as the chief guest the second conference of
the Mohila Sramik League at the Krishibid Institute, Bangladesh Convention
Centre here this morning.
General Secretary of Bangladesh Awami League Obaidul Quader also spoke on
the occasion, while President of Mohila Sramik League Raushan Jahan Sathi was
in the chair.
Convenor of Conference Preparation Committee and Executive President of
Mohila Sramik League Suraiya Aktar delivered the welcome address, while
General Secretary of the organisation Begum Shamsunnahar Bhuyan placed the
organisational report.
Earlier, the prime minister inaugurated the conference by releasing pigeons
and balloons.
She also hoisted the national flag, while President and General Secretary
of the organisation Raushan Jahan Sathi and Begum Shamsunnahar Bhuyan raised
the party flag on the occasion.
A minute’s silence was observed as a mark of profound respect to the memory
of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, four national
leaders and martyrs of different movements including liberation war.
