Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday asked the members of Bangladesh Army to remain vigil to protect the country’s constitution and sovereignty, defying any internal and external threats. “You’ll have to remain always ready to face any internal or external threats for protecting the constitution and sovereignty of the country,” she said. The prime minister, also the minister of defence, came up with the directives while addressing the inaugural program of the newly-constructed cantonment at Lebukhali in the district. “The army will have to keep up the trend of democracy and constitution and make greater contributions to public welfare-oriented activities,” she said. She said the living standard of the army members has improved due to the sincere efforts of her government.
