Prime Minister Tarique Rahman today announced that the maximum punishment for Ramisa\u2019s killer will be ensured within the next one month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Prime Minister made the announcement while inaugurating a three-day national programme marking the 127th birth anniversary of National Poet Kazi Nazrul Islam in Trishal here this afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said, \u201cThe greatest damage that has taken place, especially during the time of the ousted fascist regime, is that humanity, compassion, and the country\u2019s long-standing religious and social values have been completely destroyed. The death (killing) of an innocent girl (Ramisa) at Mirpur in Dhaka has proved the complete moral degradation of human values.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOn this issue, I want to clearly present before you today that the current government will in no way tolerate this kind of child abuse or violence against women. And the current government will, InShaAllah, ensure the maximum punishment for Ramisa\u2019s killer within the next one month. That maximum punishment is the death penalty,\u201d the premier added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the maximum punishment will be given so that in the future no person dares to commit such abuse against children or women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Putting emphasis on building a safe and humane state, Tarique Rahman said, \u201cTo establish a safe and humane state and society, we must establish the rule of law. We must bring changes in political culture.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSimultaneously, we must revive the country\u2019s long-standing religious, social and cultural values in our national life. In this regard, the life and works of Poet Kazi Nazrul Islam are relevant,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Following Ramisa\u2019s murder, Prime Minister Tarique Rahman visited Ramisa\u2019s family residence at Pallabi in Dhaka on Thursday night and met her grieving father and elder sister, assuring them of speedy trial in the murder case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed, who accompanied the Prime Minister here, later told journalists, \u201cThe charge sheet in the Ramisa murder case will be submitted to the court by Sunday afternoon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The three-day programme marking the birth anniversary of the National Poet has been kicked off this afternoon at the Nazrul Mancha of the Nazrul Academy ground at Darirampur in Trishal here, which is associated with the poet\u2019s childhood memories. The Ministry of Cultural Affairs is organizing the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
