Abrar Hussain: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday emphasized creating a social movement against drugs similar to the one against militancy.
“There was a social movement against militancy; like that we want another social movement against drugs,” she said at a videoconference arranged to inaugurate four amphibian dredgers, Gajaria-Munshiganj ferry terminal and ferry service, four container carrier vessels and two mini utility ferries from her official residence Ganobhaban, reported UNB.
Hasina said her government does not want to risk the future of the country’s children.
“We don’t want to see someone to become terrorist and drug addict.”
She said the government wants every child to be worthy citizens of the country and work for its development. The premier urged all guardians, teachers, imams and religious clerics to remain vigil.
“The government wants to build the country beautifully where the future of every child will be brighter and all will be able to flourish their merits and devote themselves to nation-building activities.”
“There’ll be a technology knowledge-based nation…that’s our aim,” she added.
