Hasina said the protests at one state turned into something like terrorist attacks. “They [attackers] tried to carry out Sri Lanka-style violence and planned to oust the government,” the prime minister said. He also said Hasina's recent “successful India visit achieved meaningful results that consolidated past achievements and created a blue-print for future cooperation”.
