Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today urged parents and guardians to inform the law enforcement agencies about missing of their any college or university going child saying the government would extend all possible support including technological helps to trace them and come back home.

She also asked the authorities of the colleges and universities to inform the police about the students who remained absent from their classes for a long time. The guardians may keep their identity secrete while disclosing the names of their children, she said.

The Prime Minister said this while talking to media after exchanging Eid greetings with a cross section of people, party leaders and workers and professionals at her official residence Gonobhaban here.

"I urge the guardians to take steps to bring back their missing sons home. We will give them all cooperation to find their missing boys and for their treatment, if necessary," she said adding that "we want to say clearly that Bangladesh is not be a place for militants and terrorists."

Pointing out the last week's Gulshan terror attack, the Prime Minister said they are maligning Islam through conducting such heinous acts in the name of religion. Nothing could be more atrocious like killing people in the name of Islam, she said.

"What kind of Islamic virtues they belong to as they go to kill people instead of offering their prayers at prayers time, carry out suicidal bomb attack in the Masjid-un-nabi," she asked saying 'actually they are foes of Islam."

Sheikh Hasina said the bigots claimed to be devoted to executing the Sharia law and oppose all manmade laws. So why they are using manmade weapons, bombs, clothes and technologies for achieve their goal, she asked?

Terming Islam as a religion of peace and fraternity, the Prime Minister said Islam doesn't allow killing of any innocent people even they belong to other religions. The almighty is the final adjudicator and he never bestowed the responsibility on others.

Sheikh Hasina said the militants have no faith in Allah. They consider them more powerful than Allah. So they can never go to the haven, they will be thrown to the hell, she said adding that they have no right to harm the religious sentiment of others.

Urging for constituting committees in every village and wards to collect information about any missing persons, the Prime Minister said the government would give all support in this regard. However, she termed terrorism as a global phenomenon saying the international community has to shoulder the responsibility and work together to check the danger.

Sheikh Hasina criticized some local and foreign human rights agencies as they blamed only the government for missing of many youths over the last few years saying they didn't give correct information, rather played blame game accusing the government for those disappearances.

"Had they given us the correct information, we would have taken more tangible action for their rescue," she said.

The Prime Minister said her government is striving everyday to make a prosperous country, whereas a section of evil force is out to foil all successes of the nation. She urged the countrymen to remain vigilant about the conspiracy and keep confidence in her government.

The gate of the Ganobhaban opened for visitors at 9.30 am when people from all walks of life started coming after their Eid prayers and waited in a long queue to meet the Prime Minister. On the occasion the big lawn of Gonobhaban was tastefully decorated.

At the beginning, senior Awami League leaders and cabinet members greeted the Prime Minister by presenting her with bouquets.

Leaders of different political parties, parliament members, freedom fighters, leaders of associate bodies of Awami League, different professional and trade bodies as well as a cross section of people including beggars and destitute exchanged Eid greetings with the Prime Minister.

Like previous years, some of the visitors took the programme as an opportunity to draw attention of the top executive of the country to their woes and sufferings and sought her intervention and support to resolve those problems.

Awami League advisory council member Amir Hossain Amu, presidium members Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim and Advocate Sahara Khatun, PM's advisors HT Imam and Moshiur Rahman, AL joint secretaries Mahbubul Alam Hanif, Dr Dipu Moni, and Jahangir Kabir Nanak, Information Minister Hasanul Haque Inu, central Awami League leaders AKM Rahmatullah, MP, and Muhammad Faruk Khan, MP, were present, among others, on the occasion.
