Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday called upon the country’s people to resist the arson terrorists and if necessary throw them into fire to teach them a good lesson.   

Calling BNP as arson terrorist, he said, “I will urge the people of the country including Dhaka city dwellers to resist these arson terrorists. If necessary nab them and throw them in that fire."

Sheikh Hasina alleged that arson attacks and burning people to ashes are like the festival for BNP and its allies

This is the real character of them, she stated.

“Their agitation means arson terrorism, killing people, attack on the law enforcing agencies and destroy everything,” she added. 

Sheikh Hasina also asked BNP and its allies, including Jamaat to stop their destructive activities immediately.

“If they don't stop this, then we know very well how to stop them. Yes we know that,” she warned.
