Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today said the armed forces are being built as capable to defend any attack from the external forces to secure country’s independence and sovereignty.
“We don’t want war with anyone. We believe in the policy, ‘Friendship to all malice to none’ formulated by the Father of the Nation. But, we’re taking measures to make the armed forces capable enough to defend any external force attack,” she said.
She was addressing as the chief guest the 10th Tigers’ Reunion of the East Bengal Regiment (EBR) at the EBRC, Chattogram.
The prime minister said her government wants to establish Bangladesh as a peaceful country, for which, it has adopted “zero tolerance” policy against terrorism and militancy.
She extended her wholehearted gratitude to the armed forces personnel as they always stand by the people during any disaster that include flood and drought.dhngkfdvk
