Core cell to initiate intelligence action

PM tells JS of move to coordinate activities of agencies

Staff Correspondent
The government will form a committee at the Prime Minister's Office to coordinate the activities of intelligence agencies and initiate actions based on their information.
"The committee will collect information from intelligence agencies and decide the next course of actions," Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said in reply to a query from Awami League lawmaker Golam Dastagir Gazi in parliament yesterday.
Questions have arisen in recent years on the role and efficiency of the country's intelligence agencies as they have repeatedly failed to prevent terror attacks.
Hasina said her government has also taken steps to form industrial police to maintainlaw and order in industrial areas.
She alleged that the recent unrest in garment factories at Ashulia was a planned move by a large group of conspirators to create anarchy in the country's chief export sector. "Investigation is going on into the recent garment factory violence and we have already got some Information," Hasina added.
She urged factory owners and labourers to remain alert so that none can use them for evil gains. "I personally believe garment labourers were not involved in damaging their own factories from where they earn their livelihoods," Hasinasaid.
In response to a query of AL lawmaker Brig Gen (retd) SK Abu Bakr on forming a parliamentary body to eliminate corruption, the premier said her government is taking steps to ensure that the AntiCorruption Commission can work independently.
She urged the ACC to examine if there is consistency in people's incomes and expenditures.
Hasina blamed the military rulers of the past for spreading corruption everywhere in the society. "The military dictators, whenever they snatched state power, spread corruption by providing undue facilities to a vested interest quarter of the society," she said.
Hasina said democracy and democratic practice must be continued to fight corruption.
On formation of parliamentary bodies, she said lawmakers have the authority to form parliamentary bodies if they want to probe anything.
In response to a query of Jatiya Party lawmaker Raushan Ershad on women's empowerment, the premier said she has planned to elect the speaker or deputy speaker of parliament herself in the future.
Hasina, daughter of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, rejected Chief Whip Abdus Shahid's proposal to bring Bangabandhu's graveyard to the capital and build a memorial in front of the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban.
"It is better to let his graveyard be there where he has been lying in eternal peace by the side of his mother,” Hasina said.
On AL lawmaker Atiur RahmanuAtiklsiproposal on building a monument to express hatred for the razakars, al-badr and al-shams on a specific day, the prime minister said it is not a matter of one specific day, the Bangalee nation will hate the 1971 collaborators of the Pakistan army forever.
Hasina informed the House that the project to build Swadhinata Stambha in Suhrawardy Udyan will complete as per schedule.
