Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today called upon the Hajj pilgrims and Alem-Ulema (Islamic scholars) to move forward to contribute in building a modern and knowledge-based developed nation by keeping the children away from militancy and terrorism.
“I urge you (Hajj pilgrims) and Alem-Ulema to stand boldly against militancy and terrorism so our children can stay aside from it and equip with modern-technology to build a developed Bangladesh,” she said.
The premier made this call while inaugurating Hajj Programme-2023 (1444 Hijri) at the Hajji Office in the capital’s Ashkona area as the chief guest.
She said Islam is a religion of peace and it is always a religion of welfare of people which ensures the rights of people.
Mentioning that Islam is being denounced because of few people, who perpetrate militancy and terrorism in the name of Islam, she said, “Actually those people who create militancy and terrorism they have no religion.”
Sheikh Hasina noted that the people who are creating militancy and terrorism exist in all religions.বিস্তারিত
