Home Minister Sahara Khatun yesterday reassured that the government is alert so that none can attack Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

She made the remarks to newsmen responding to a report published in Indian daily Ananda Bazar over Sheikh Hasina's security.

Sahara who chaired an inter-ministerial meeting on law and order said law-enforcing agencies, people and Awami League workers are active to thwart any such attempt.

She said the Prime Minister came under attack 19 times after 1975 but no political killing would be allowed to be staged in the country in the future.

About the assassination of Bangabandhu and most of his family members, the Home Minister said the stigma will not be erased until the Supreme Court's November 19 verdict is implemented.

The meeting discussed ways to ensure peaceful celebrations of the coming Eid-ul-Azha, the Victory Day and Christmas Day.
