Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday asked Opposition Leader Khaleda Zia to shun ‘ill attempts’ to topple the government and launch programmes that serves public interest.

Referring to BNP chairperson’s remark that the ground for greater unity of people and stronger movement has been created, she said, “Stop killing the innocent people in the name of creating ground.”

“How, being a Muslim, Khaleda Zia gives direction for burning another Muslim to death?” she questioned, referring to the death of Faruk Hossain in a pre-hartal arson attack.
