PM claims nationwide mayhem was a plot to cripple economy

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday said the nationwide mayhem was a part of conspiracy to completely cripple the economy to make Bangladesh again a country of beggars.

"It might be their conspiracy to make us again a nation of beggars by crippling the country's economy completely," she said.

The prime minister made the remarks with emotional voice after paying a visit to the National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedic Rehabilitation (NITOR) popularly known as Pongu Hospital at Sher-e-Banglanagar in Dhaka to see the injured people who came under terror attacks during the total shutdown centering the quota reform movement, reports BSS.
