Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday announced a judicial enquiry to ensure fair and just trial in the recent unwanted incidents including killings.

She also unequivocally announced that steps will be taken to ensure that those who committed the murders, looting and terrorist activities, whoever they are, will get the appropriate punishment.

"On whose instigation the conflict started, who for what purpose pushed the country to an anarchic situation, will be investigated and found out," she said. The premier said this in a televised address to the nation at 7:30pm. The speech was aired by Bangladesh Television, Bangladesh Betar, private TV channels and radio stations simultaneously.
