Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has expressed her hope that the apex court will use Bangla in writing all verdicts in near future.

She said everyone is not well enough in this language. So, they have to depend on counsels to know about own verdict.

"Everything cannot be changed overnight. The verdicts will be written in Bangla in near future," Sheikh Hasina hoped.

The Prime Minister came up with the opinion while addressing a discussion at the auditorium of Krishibid Institution, Bangladesh in Dhaka on Saturday afternoon.

Bangladesh Awami League organised the discussion on the occasion of Amar Ekushey and the International Mother Language Day.

The Prime Minister urged private university to ensure the opportunities so that students can learn Bangla and literature.

Sheikh Hasina urged all to stay alert so that the country must not plunge into the dark-era of post-1975.

"We must not plunge into danger ...we all must remain alert so that we don't step into the dark-era of post-1975," she said. 

Sheikh Hasina, also the leader of the ruling Awami League, said there is a section of people livening in Bangladesh inheriting Pakistani souls.

"We have to save the people of Bangladesh from such elements....this is my request to people," she said. 

According to UNB, the Prime Minister mentioned that it was very regretful that a political party had made the convicted war criminals ministers and put the national flag earned through blood in their hands. 

"The people of the country have to remain vigil regarding those who honour those culprits who raped our mothers and sisters, involved in genocide, arson attacks and looting...the nation must not forgive those culprits," Hasina said. 

AL presidium members Begum Matia Chowdhury, Sheikh Fazlul Karim Selim, Dr Abdur Razzaque and Abdul Matin Khasru, Prof Emeritus Rafiqul Islam and former Bangla Academy director general Prof Dr Syed Anwar Hossain took part in the discussion. 

AL Publicity and Publication Secretary Dr Hasan Mahmud conducted the function.

Earlier, a one-minute silence was observed as remembering the memory of language heroes who laid down their lives on February 21 in 1952 for establishing Bangla as the state language.
