Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday urged the people of all strata to stay alert to keep the student community away from militancy and terrorism, describing them as future leaders of the country.The prime minister said Bangladesh is now being regarded as a role model of development in the world. “To maintain the continuity of success, the students who are future leaders of the nation, will have to pursue education in a way that makes them good human beings,” she said, adding that all will have to keep a sharp eye on them so that they don’t get engaged in terrorism and militancy.The premier made the call while laying the foundation stone of Dr Wazed International Research and Training Institute at Begum Rokeya University in Rangpur through videoconferencing from her official Ganabhaban residence here this morning.She laid the foundation of the 10-storey institute named after the country’s eminent nuclear scientist late Dr MA Wazed Miah, also the husband of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.The prime minister also laid the foundation stone of the 10-storey Sheikh Hasina Female Dormitory at Begum Rokeya University in Rangpur through videoconferencing from the same venue.The two establishments of the university would be founded at Begum Rokeya University at a cost of Tk 26.87 crore.Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid spoke at the function at Ganabhaban, while Begum Rokeya University Vice Chancellor Dr AKM Nurunnobi spoke from Rangpur.Referring to the mayhem and rampage unleashed by the BNP-Jamaat nexus in 2013, 2014 and the first three months of 2015, the prime minister said the BNP-Jamaat elements acted as militants during that time as they burnt people to death and torched and vandalized public and private property in the name of movement.She said the BNP-Jamaat killed police personnel and burnt buses, trucks and rails in the name of movement, adding they also created confusion by producing militancy at that time.In this connection, the prime minister said Islam is a religion of peace where there is no room for militancy in it. Allah will judge who is good and who isn’t, and the almighty has not given that responsibility to the human beings, she said.“So I don’t believe that killing a human being could be a good work and anybody can go to haven this way ... our meritorious students are taken to a wrong path by creating such confusion,” she said.Source: BSS
