We are now in battle with new wave of terrorism: PM

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said, ‘We are now in battle with new wave of terrorism. We have undertaken massive programmes to awaken people against radicalisation and stand against militancy and extremism.’

The Premier said this in her address to the 71 General Assembly of the United Nation early on Thursday Bangladesh time in New York.

‘Our Government did succeed in disintegrating the home-grown terrorist groups, plugging their regular financing pipelines, and flushing out the regional operatives from our territory’, she said.

She also said, ‘The terrorists are killing now and often numerous innocent people everywhere from USA to Europe, Africa to Asia’.

Sheikh Hasina said, ‘Yet, our world is not free from tension and fear. Violent conflicts continue to rage in several places, with heavy toll of human lives’.
