Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina called for those involved in destructive activities to be found from all corners of the country.

The premier made the call while visiting Bangladesh Television (BTV) Bhaban in the city’s Rampura area to see the extent of damage after it came under attack during the recent student violence.

“I would like to call upon the people of the country that they should find out those who were involved in these destructions and cooperate for ensuring their punishment,” she said.

Sheikh Hasina also urged the citizens to cooperate with the government to make sure the perpetrators of the recent mayhem are nabbed from every nook and corner of the country to get punishment.

She inspected different parts of the BTV Bhaban which was set on fire by a mob during the student movement for reformation of quota in public service.

Hasina said BNP and Jamaat-Shibir terrorists, gathering from across the country, carried out these attacks in the capital.

“They carried out these things using the anti-quota movement,” she said.

State Minister for Information and Broadcasting Mohammad Ali Arafat and BTV senior officials including its Director General Md Jahangir Alam, briefed the prime minister about the damages of the state-owned television centre.
