Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday promised to bring to justice those responsible for the accident that took the lives of two students of Shaheed Ramiz Uddin Cantonment School and College. ‘This is completely unforgivable because the driver was driving the bus defying all the [traffic] rules, resulting in the loss of two lives...many students were also injured,’ she said, reports the UNB. The Prime Minister said this while speaking at a programme at Armed Forces Medical College ground after laying the foundation stone of an underpass at a road adjacent to Shaheed Ramiz Uddin Cantonment School and College in the city. Sheikh Hasina said the government will never spare the bus driver involved in the brutal accident. ‘We must ensure the due punishment to those involved in such accidents; we’ll do that.’ Urging all not to pay any heed to rumours, the Prime Minister said there was a move to create instability in the country through spreading rumours and false information through technology. Hasina bemoaned that even some senior people who got government recognition for their good jobs were involved in spreading rumours. ‘Such acts will never be tolerated,’ she warned. The Prime Minister said her government has turned the country into Digital Bangladesh through providing proper and modern education. ‘This is not for using illicit and untrue words, not for spreading rumours...all must refrain from these.’ Recalling a student movement during her schoolday, the Prime Minister said she was very much concerned about the security of children. ‘I never wanted any sort of loss to students; we had ensured all types of security for them for the first two days.’ From the third day, she said, there were some people who had shackles, Chinese shackles and stones in their bags. ‘Who were they? Of course, they were not school students! I was worried about the real students; I requested them to go back home. I requested the guardians to take their children back home because the third party trespassed into it,’ she said. Hasina thanked the students and guardians for accepting her request. ‘The third party might cause losses to the students to make their political gain, which is a very heinous job.’ She said the intention of the intruders undercover of students was very mean. Some vested groups had started spreading rumours in Facebook and other social media that there were dead bodies in Awami League’s Dhanmondi office. The Prime Minister said that the BCL president and secretary later invited 25 students from the agitators to come in the AL office and they searched each corner of the office and found nothing. Hasina asked all, including drivers, helpers and pedestrians, to abide by traffic rules to avoid any tragic consequence. She also briefly described various initiatives of the government to enhance road safety and improve the country’s communications system. Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader, Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid, Army Chief General Aziz Ahmed and Engineer-in-Chief Major General Md Siddiqur Rahman Sarker also spoke at the programme.
