PM for campaign against political violence

Prime minister Sheikh Hasina on Monday ordered ministries and agencies to carry out more publicity of the government’s achievements and launch massive campaigns against violence during countrywide nonstop blockade enforced by Bangladesh Nationalist Party-led alliance in 2015. 
Chairing the weekly cabinet meeting at the Cabinet Division, she also asked for counter to anti-government ‘propaganda’ through the social media, according to ministers. 
The prime minister instructed the information ministry to take steps to prepare television programmes showing ‘violence by BNP and Jamaat activists’ during the 2014 general elections 
and nationwide blockade in 2015, said a minister. 
The directives came a couple of days after Hasina, also the ruling Awami League president, at her party forum asked AL leaders and activists to go for an all out door-to-door campaign for the next general elections due between October 30, 2018 and January 28, 20019. 
The cabinet endorsed the draft of an agreement to be signed between Bangladesh and Sri Lanka on visa exemption for holder of diplomatic and official passports, said cabinet secretary Mohammad Shafiul Alam.
He said that it also approved two proposals for observing December 9 as the International Anti-Corruption Day and April 6 as the International Sports Day.
The cabinet secretary said that prime minister Sheikh Hasina at the outset of the meeting unveiled a special commemorative stamp album featuring genocide and war crimes committed by the Pakistani occupation forces and their local collaborators during the 1971 Liberation War.
