Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday said they would ensure that none can burn the people to death alive in future by giving exemplary punishment to the arsonists and the masterminds behind the heinous acts.
"We are taking required measures against the arsonists and their masters so that none can burn the people to death and such heinous acts," she said.
The premier made the remarks while speaking at a post-election greeting and view exchange meeting with leaders and activists of Kotalipara AL and associate bodies in Kotalipara Upazila Chattar here.
Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's younger daughter and prime minister's younger sister Sheikh Rehana was present.
Sheikh Hasina, also president of the ruling Awami League, said many persons involved in the arson violence and their masters have already been brought to book while the remaining others must be netted after scrutinizing the video footages of the CCTV cameras which are now available everywhere.
"None of those who have done such heinous acts will be spared. We are currently taking measures against them and will continue the legal actions against others," she said.
The prime minister came down heavily on the BNP-Jamaat clique for their activities for what they call democracy.
"Their movement means burning people to death alive and torching vehicles, including buses and trains."
She said they did the same thing this time in the name of movement to prevent the 12th parliamentary election what they had done in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
The prime minister said the people of the country did not response to BNP-Jamaat's call to prevent the parliamentary election, by balloting spontaneously.
Sheikh Hasina said no country can make progress without a democratic government or political leaders in power.
Although conspiracies were hatched to thwart the last parliamentary election, the people of the country had given a befitting reply to the conspiracies by exercising their voting rights, she said.
"The January 7 election is the victory of the people and the democracy," she said.
The prime minister thanked the people of the country for voting her party Awami League to power again.
She also thanked the people of her constituency -- Tungipara and Kotalipara -- as they voted her again to win taking all responsibility on their shoulders and helping her become the Prime Minister of Bangladesh for the fifth term.
Sheikh Hasina has sought blessings from the countrymen so that she can run the state to fulfill their wishes.
"I have nothing to lose. My only target is to ensure how much I would give the country," she said.
She urged the countrymen to remain alert, as the anti-Liberation elements who do not like the country's development are still active in hatching conspiracies.
After forming the government for the record fifth term and fourth in a row, the prime minister went to Gopalganj to visit her Tungipara-Kotalipara constituency to pay homage to the Father of the Nation at his mausoleum in Tungipara alongside exchanging greetings and views with party leaders and activists.
She spent Saturday night at her own home in Tungipara and is scheduled to reach her official Ganabhaban residence on Sunday night.
The Awami League had won the 12th parliamentary election with a landslide victory getting 222 parliamentary seats out of 298.
Kotalipara Awami League President Babu Bhabendranath Bishwas chaired the meeting while its General Secretary Aynal Hossain Sheikh conducted it.
