Recalling the painful days during the early part of the outgoing year, the Prime Minister said the country’s people had to pass a vary dreadful days due to arson and Molotov bombs attacks by the BNP-Jamaat nexus. ‘And that was very much regretful.’
She hoped such incidents will never happen again in the future and students will be able to continue their academic activities smoothly.
