‘Find out people involved in conspiracy thru’ fishing in troubled water’

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has urged the countrymen to find out the people involved in the conspiracy to push the country backward through fishing in troubled water.

The Prime Minister made the remarks as the chief guest while formally inaugurating a week-long ‘National Fisheries Week-2024’ at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre (BICC) on Wednesday.

“You (countrymen) have to find out the people involved in the conspiracy to push the country backward through fishing in troubled water by launching such an incident,” she said.

She came down heavily on those who were involved in destruction of the public establishments alongside killing many people and thus tarnishing the country's image.
 
“My question is that who has gained what (through the mayhem)? Why were the bloods shed?” she said.

The Prime Minister said they have already formed a one-member judicial probe commission with an apex court justice prior to raising any such demand to investigate into the matter.

“We have formed the commission with a judge (of the High Court). Today, I have given an order to include two more as manpower and enhance the periphery of the investigation,” she said.

The Prime Minister once again leaving the charge of exposing the persons involved in the mayhem to justice on the countrymen.

The conspiracies being hatched by the collaborators of the Pakistani occupation forces pushed Bangladesh back time and again, she added.

“These are the most painful and regrettable things,” she said with an emotional voice.

Sheikh Hasina said a massive destruction of establishments alongside deaths of many people have taken place in the name of anti-quota movement.

But, the fact was that there was no issue to go for movement as the government had earlier met their all demands including their main demand of quota reform, she said. “It was a matter of great regret,” she added.

Expressing sorrow at the deaths of many people and sympathy to the bereaved family members, she said, “I know the pain of losing closed one as I am living with the pain of losing near and dear ones.”

She continued: “The establishments which were destroyed can be repaired but the lives which were lost can't come back again.”
The Prime Minister said she tried her best for changing the fate of the countrymen with giving them an improved life, freeing Bangladesh from poverty, giving houses to homeless and landless and reaching education and healthcare services to every doorstep alongside ensuring food and nutrition security.

She said Bangladesh has reached a dignified position on the global stage with getting the status of a developing country.

Bangladesh is now considered as the model of development due to her government's tireless efforts, she opined.
