Those involved in murder, they must be punished: PM

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday (July 28) said that my effort will be to find those involved in this murder; they must be punished – that will be my effort, I will do that.

The premier said this while distributing financial assistance to the family members who were murdered during the recent mayhem taking the advantage of student’s quota reform movement.

To this end, she sought help from all to find out the culprits who were involved, saying "I need help too. If you know anything, please tell us."

She also said that the government will not allow anyone to play duck and drakes with the fate of Bangladesh and its people.

"We will not allow anyone to play any game with the fate of Bangladesh. So, I need all out cooperation and assistance from you," she said.

It was very much brutal to hang one person after killing, she said, adding, “This is like animals, a Muslim will hang the dead body of another Muslim! Those who are involved in these will surely face trial.”

The head of government said that the culprits behind these incidents have to be tried. “People can’t be protected unless they are tried,” she added.
