Year of 'enhanced cooperation' against terrorism

bdnews24.com New Delhi correspondent

New Delhi, Jan 2 (bdnews24.com) – When Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is conferred with the prestigious Indira Gandhi Prize for Peace, Disarmament and Development in New Delhi during her visit to India this month, it will be in recognition of her "outstanding contribution to promotion of democracy and pluralism, her determined drive to alleviate poverty and secure social and economic justice for her people through inclusive and sustainable development, and her consistent commitment to peace."

The citation that Indian President Pratibha Patil will present to Hasina will perhaps also mention the efforts she had made during her first tenure (1996-2001) as prime minister to end the insurgency in Chittagong Hill Tracts by striking a deal with the Parbatya Chattagram Jana Sanghati Samiti (PCJSS) in 1997. >more> http://bdnews24.com/details.php?id=150034&cid=2
