PM asks envoys to stay vigilant against anti-state propaganda

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Tuesday asked the Bangladeshi diplomats to stay vigilant against the anti-state propaganda as the international community would not be confused and misled.

"I would like to say that the foreign ministry should provide propaganda related information to the envoys in different countries. If it can be done, they (who spread falsehoods) would not get any chance to create confusion," she said.

She also added, "We should be more active in the places where there are international organizations. So, they (international community) also would not be misled and confused (through the propaganda and misinformation)." 

The premier issued these directives while addressing the conference of Bangladeshi envoys in Europe at her place of residence in Italy. 

She said that there are some people who have taken shelter abroad after committing crimes they are spreading misinformation against the country.

"There are some people who could never take the country to a dignified position and some criminals who took shelter abroad after committing crimes are spreading misinformation against the country," she said, adding, "Everyone should be aware of them."

Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen and Prime Minister's Private Industry and Investment Adviser Salman Fazlur Rahman were also present.
