Dhaka, Mar 4 (PTI) In a grim warning, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina told her countrymen today that Bangladesh was at the risk of "more sabotage" from "conspirators" who had plotted the recent mutiny by the paramilitary force BDR in which 73 Army officers were killed.
"Conspiracies against Bangladesh are not over yet. There is still a plot to foil the country's democracy, independence and sovereignty," Hasina told a seminar here.
She cautioned that her administration will have to remain alert as "many do not like the incident to end so soon." "The game is still on and the conspirators are not taking a break," she was quoted as saying, adding that Bangladesh is "at risk of more sabotage".
Hasina's warning came as a court here remanded the suspected ringleader of the bloody BDR mutiny and four of his accomplices in police custody for a week on charges of murder, arson and looting.
The magistrate granted police seven days against their plea for 10 days to quiz the suspects, after the accused were escorted to court complex in old Dhaka under heavy security.
The accused appeared before the television camera for a brief period under the RAB custody yesterday during a press conference. The suspects were not allowed to speak to newsmen.
