PM joins condolence meeting, breaks down in tears



Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina broke down into tears as she Friday mourned the deaths of Mirsarai students and regretted the loss of so many promising lives at a single stroke of bad luck. So many buds of roses have fallen in a single mishap. It cannot be imagined. I see the face of Sheikh Russell (Hessian's slain youngest brother) amongst the dead,” she said. The prime minister, who came here on Friday morning, was addressing a condolence meeting at Abu Torah Bohumukhi High School ground.Accidents often snatch away the lives of beloved children of mothers. It won’t be tolerated any longer. The reason behind the accidents will have to be identified,” said the Prime Minister. Besides, awareness programmers would be undertaken through the law- enforcing agencies to make the drivers aware. Emotion gripped the audience as Hasina narrated the loss of her family members in the August 15, 1975 tragedy in the country's political arena. The PM also handed over to the family of each of the victims a cherub for Tl 1 lash and the injured Tl 50,000. Earlier, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina arrived at the school ground at about 10:30am to console the grief-stricken family members and relations of the schoolboys killed in a tragic road crash Monday. Opposition BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia visited Mirsarai and attended a condolence meeting on the tragedy at Mirsarai on the outskirts of the port city on Thursday afternoon.
