Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has sought cooperation from the country's Islamic scholars in spreading out a message among the people that there is no place for militancy and terrorism in Islam.

Hasina, who was addressing at the National Khatib Conference at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre here today, said cooperation is needed in establishing the belief among the people that there is no place of militancy and terrorism in Islam.

The Islamic Foundation organised the programme with Religious Affairs Minister Motior Rahman in the chair, reports Daily Star.

She urged the Islamic scholars and the people of the country to take steps against those engaged in subversive and terrorist acts in the name of Islam.

Hasina lamented that some countries often mix militancy with Islam.
