In a statement, the president extended deep condolences to the government and the people of France. He wished for quick recovery of the wounded and prayed for the departed souls.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, in her message of condolence to French President Francois Hollande, said she along with the people and the government of Bangladesh strongly condemn this act of terror and stand in solidarity with the people and the government of France.
Terrorists are terrorists irrespective of their colour, creed or religion and must have no place in any civilised society, Sheikh Hasina said expressing her firm resolve to fight together against terrorism and violent extremism.
Sheikh Hasina also expressed her profound sympathy to the people of France, saying: Our thoughts and prayers are with the grieving families.
