Desk Report: Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday urged the parents, particularly mothers, to build up friendly relations with their children to prevent them from going astray or bending to militancy, terrorism and drug.

"Mother should be the best friend of a child so that he/she can say and share everything with her. Mothers should build up such relationship with their children which is very important to protect their children," she said while addressing the national conference of Bangladesh Mohila Awami League in city's KIB auditorium here.

"We have to remain careful to protect our children from evil forces. We have to take care of them to build up them as worthy citizens," Sheikh Hasina said urging the women not to consider themselves as of lower status.

She said, "Every human being has own capacity and ability to do something and everybody has to utilize the capacity for the nation," she said adding that "particularly the political workers should work with an aim to serve the nation through their politics."

President of the organization Ashrafunesa Mosharraf presided over the function while Secretary of Awami League on women affairs Fazilatunesa Indira spoke, among others, on the occasion.

Acting general secretary of Mohila Awami League Pinu Khan presented the organizational report while convener of the conference preparatory committee Safia Khatun gave welcome address. Shirin Roksana, publicity secretary of the Mohila Awami League, conducted the function.
