“They should be given appropriate punishment so that none can play ducks and drakes with the lives of the people anymore,” she said, adding that she never wanted anyone to lose their dear ones in this country.
“I never wanted such a ‘procession of death’ would take place. But such a thing happened in Bangladesh today,” said Hasina.
Earlier, the Prime Minister visited the vandalised metro rail station at Mirpur 10 in the capital on Thursday morning and the ransacked Bangladesh Television (BTV) Bhaban this morning to see the extent of damage as these establishments came under attack during the violence.
Health Minister Dr Samanta Lal Sen, State Minister for Health Dr Rokeya Sultana and local lawmaker AFM Bahauddin Nasim were present.
