Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today declared to conduct judicial inquiry into the killings and other untoward incidents during the quota reform movement by students.
“I further declare that judicial inquiry will be conducted for the sake of fair trial and justice in all the untoward incidents, including murder,” she said in a televised address to the nation this evening.
“On whose instigation the conflict started, who pushed the country to an anarchic situation for what purpose, will be found out through investigation,” she added.
She called upon all to wait patiently till the Supreme Court verdict comes. “I believe our student will get justice from the apex court. They will not be disappointed,” she said.
The Prime Minister expressed her concerns about the safety of the agitating young students, saying “The terrorists may harm them by creating an atmosphere of conflict at any time.”
“So, I would appeal to the parents, guardians and teachers of the students to be vigilant about the safety of their children,” she added.
Sheikh Hasina at the same time urged all to keep eyes, particularly, on the safety of the students of all educational institutions.
She said she believes that the terrorists have entered into the movement and they are creating conflicts and anarchy.
“Those involved in such incidents will be identified and punished accordingly,” she said.
The head of government declared to provide the necessary supports to the families of those who were killed.
“I unequivocally declare that appropriate punitive measures will be taken against them who have committed murder, looting and terrorist activities; whoever they are, will be punished,” she added.
