yesterday directed the senior army officials to resist any anti-democratic and anti-constitutional activity for continuation of the country's development.
"Stay alert so that no vested quarter can disrupt the country's forward march riding over the army's back. I hope you'll resist any anti-democratic and anti-constitutional activity with your all-out strength," she said.
The premier was addressing the Generals Conference of Bangladesh Army at Dhaka Cantonment.
Despite many obstacles, she said, her government has brought the war criminals under the trial process, which was not an easy task.
She also called upon all to remain vigilant as anti-state conspiracy is being hatched to stop the trial process.
Laying emphasis on maintaining chain of command, Hasina said senior army officials would have to present themselves to their subordinates as examples of morality, honesty and dutifulness.
She urged them to remain vigil so that junior officers are not victimised by the propaganda of the vested quarters who want to create confusion among the members of the armed forces by spreading baseless information and rumours.
