PM claims those who are protesting are not students,but terrorists

At a meeting of the National Security Commitee at the Prime Minister's residence, Ganabhaban, the PM reportedly said, "Those who are protesting on the streets right now are not students, but terrorists who are out there to destabilise the nation."

She urged the countrymen to deal with those terrorists with iron hands. "My government will investigate all the killings and bring those who are responsible for the murder and violence to justice through fair trial. The students who have not taken part in the ongoing unrest will be spared," said the PM.

Earlier yesterday, PM Hasina had requested the protesting students to sit for a dialogue with her, saying, "The doors of Ganobhaban are open. I don't want any more violence."
