Peacekeepers’ unwarranted conduct will not be tolerated: PM
Dhaka: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday warned that any unwarranted attitude and activities of Bangladeshi peacekeepers deployed in UN peacekeeping missions will not be tolerated, reports local news agency.
The Prime Minister came up with the warning while addressing the graduation ceremony of ‘DSCSC 2015-2016’ course of Defence Services Command and Staff College at Sheikh Hasina Complex at Mirpur Cantonment.
Sheikh Hasina said her government wants to keep Bangladesh peacekeepers’ image unharmed in UN peacekeeping missions across the world. ‘We don’t want our armed forces’ reputation to get questionable.’
The Prime Minister’s warning came in the wake of recent four new child sex abuse cases in Central African Republic involving UN troops and police from Bangladesh, Congo, Niger and Senegal.
Earlier, the Prime Minister distributed certificates among the graduating officers.
Ministers, the Leader of the Opposition in Parliament, the chiefs of the three services, Parliament Members, PSO of the Armed Forces Division, Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister, and other high civil and military officials were present.
