Law will take its own course against criminals: PM
BAKU, Azerbaijan, Oct 27, 2019 (BSS) – Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has
reissued a strong warning against the wrongdoers, saying that law will take
its own course against those who will commit crimes.
“The law will take its own course against criminals whoever might be and
whichever party they belong,” she said when expatriate Bangladeshis living in
Azerbaijan called on her at Hotel Hilton Baku here yesterday evening.
The prime minister said: “You’ve seen that it (action) is continuing. If
any of our party man is indulged in crime, he or she is getting punishment
instantly.”
Sheikh Hasina, also the Awami League President, said the criminals are just
criminals. “We’ll see criminals as criminals and we’re trying to see that,”
she said.
The prime minister thinks that to give lesson to others, it should start
from own house. “I’m doing that (drive against corruption) and I’m continuing
it,” she said.
Referring to unbridled corruption committed by the then BNP-Jamaat
government, she said there was no limit of graft during their five-year
misrule.
Sheikh Hasina said a vested quarter is committing heinous crimes by
spreading rumours on various issues.
Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen, State Minister for Cultural Affairs KM
Khalid and Bangladesh Ambassador to Turkey M. Allama Siddiki, who is also
concurrently accredited to Azerbaijan, were present on the dais.
