Bangla sniffs at Pak claim of Bangladesh's involvement in Mumbai attacks
Home Minister Sahara Khatun yesterday strongly condemned the Pakistan investigation agency's claim of Bangladesh's involvement in the Mumbai terror attacks last year."Militants and terrorists do not belong to any territory, country and nation. I am shocked at such claim," she told reporters after attending the concluding ceremony of annual sports competition of Rajuk Uttara Model College. The three-day long competition of the college ended yesterday amid various colourful programmes and prize distribution among contestants on the college premises. Asked about the measures the home ministry would take in removing terrorism in the educational institutions, Sahara said her ministry is taking necessary steps in this regard. "We are trying and I said times and again that we want to get to the root of the problems," she added. Action would be taken against terrorists irrespective of their party affiliation, she said. Addressing the programme as the chief guest, the home minister sought cooperation from people of all strata of society to build a peaceful Bangladesh by eliminating corruption, terrorism, militancy and extortion.
