CCTV9英语新闻：孟加拉国总理承诺结束暴力和确保安全（在线收听）

Bangladesh Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina, has promised to take steps to end the violence prevailing in the country, and to ensure the safety of the life and property of citizens.

Hasina says her ministers would take oath Saturday, and her government would end the culture of violence in the country. Her Awami League won more than two-thirds of the seats in Sunday’s parliamentary election. But the polls were shunned by international observers as flawed. The opposition derided the vote as a farce, and boycotted it.

Half of the seats were uncontested. More than 100 people were killed in clashes ahead of the election, and violence especially in rural districts has continued. The opposition has renewed calls for nationwide strikes.
