Dhaka: Bangladesh prime minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday said that the government would take proper actions against those who were engaged in arson violence in the public interest.

‘I think there is no scope to compromise with those who burn people, damage properties of the people and national assets,’ she said.

Hasina said this while unveiling the results of this year’s Higher Secondary Certificate and equivalent examinations online.

Education minister Dipu Moni handed over the combined result statistics of all 11 education boards to the prime minister at the latter’s official residence Ganabhaban.

Later, chairmen of the nine general education boards, Bangladesh Madrassah Education Board and Bangladesh Technical Education Board handed over the result statistics of their respective boards.

Hasina said BNP and its allies faced no problem as long as they were carrying out political programmes properly. Their image rather got better.

‘But they’ve got alienated completely from the people after carrying out terrorist activities,’ she said.

The PM questioned what the government should do with those who were engaged in arson violence or who ordered or provided finance for the arson violence.

‘Will we receive them with floral wreaths or will the law enforcement agencies take proper action against them? If we don’t take action against them, they will continue the arson violence,’ she said.

This year a total of 13, 74,488 students sat for HSC and equivalent exams from August 17 to September 25. Of them, 6, 98,135 are boys and 6, 76,353 are girls.
