Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday told the Jatiya Sangsad that there would be a permanent and qualitative change in the law and order situation of the country if the trial of the war criminals was completed.
'In order to establish the rule of law, the present government wants to complete the trial of the war criminals of '71,' said Hasina while answering a question during the PM's question-answer hour, adding that there would be a permanent and qualitative change in the law and order situation if the trials were completed.
She said that the government's relentless determination to uproot terrorism was appreciated by people at home and abroad, and the government would not tolerate the country to be used as a base for terrorism against other countries.
'It was our electoral pledge to ensure the security of the lives and property of the people by improving the overall law and order situation, and the government is continuing its work to fulfil the promise,' said Hasina.
Replying to another question, the prime minister said that the government had given subsidy of about Tk 15,000 crore to the agriculture sector in the last three fiscal years.
'The government has already given Tk 14,714.29 crore for fertilizer, power, diesel and other agricultural necessities since January 2009,' she said, adding that Tk 5,426.27 crore was given in FY2008-2009, Tk 4,894 crore in FY2009-2010 and Tk 4,894.02 crore in FY 2010-2011.
