Arsonists now turned into secret killers: PM

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday alleged that the quarter which had earlier burnt people alive is now carrying out secret killings changing their strategy, reports UNB.

“Those who faced public wrath for killing people in broad daylight have now changed their strategy and started killing people secretly. They’re making all soft targets to frighten people and cerate sensation globally,” she said.      

Hasina came up with the remarks at a press conference on her recent visits to different countries, including Saudi Arabia, at Gonobhaban.

The Prime Minister, however, said her government is taking every necessary step in this regard and the members of law enforcement agencies are very active as they are arresting those who are committing the crimes.

Hasina also alleged the current spate of the secret killings is a part of a blueprint of those who want to tarnish Bangladesh’s image and obstruct its progress.

Mentioning that the country’s people had resisted those who burnt people alive earlier, she called upon people to come forward to find out the secret killers and hand them over to law enforcers. “I believe if people become alert, they won’t be able to implement their blueprint.”
