Tackling Terrorism: US Congressman Lauds PM Hasina’s Roles

Chairman of the Committee on Homeland Security of the United States House of Representatives Congressman Peter T King lauded the roles of the government of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina for "successful combating of terrorism" in the country.





The US lawmaker in a recent note to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said that political stand and untiring support of her government to the anti-terrorism efforts not only curbed operations of the Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI), Jagrata Muslim Janata Bangladesh (JMJB) and Jamaat-ul- Mujahedeen Bangladesh (JMB) but also "expedited the US-sponsored battle against extremism".





Claiming Bangladesh as a leading ally in the United States-sponsored ongoing counterterrorism operations worldwide, Congressman Peter T King said, "Your actions have empowered your nation to stand firm against radical influences emanating from Pakistan and Afghanistan".



He also emphasized the need for extended cooperation of the nations around the world for better tackling of terrorism and saving life and property of the innocent people.
