Government firm to uproot terrorism: PM

Manama : His Royal Highness Prime Minister Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa has said that attempts to subvert security will not weaken the government’s resolve and determination to uproot terrorism.

The Prime Minister made the statements after receiving deputy premiers and senior state officials at the Gudaibiya Palace yesterday. “Ensuring security and stability is the government’s duty towards the Bahraini people, and therefore it will never hesitate to honour its commitment towards this nation and its citizens,” HRH Premier said.

“For us, security is sacred and cannot be compromised, and whoever found linked to any attempt to undermine stability, whether directly or indirectly, will be subject to law and justice,” he emphasised.

HRH the Prime Minister stressed the need to clamp down on terrorists, and to leave no loophole through which they can convey their destructive ideology aimed at undermining social security, fuelling sedition and discord.

He pointed out that social media networks should be platforms to serve national unity and development, not means to post messages that target the Kingdom’s social fabric and promote extremist ideologies, requesting the relevant authorities to follow up on the issue strictly.

“When it comes to the security of the nation and its citizens, everything should be given utmost importance, and no part of it should be overlooked because of the politicised voices that seek to twist facts, and apply double standards by describing what is happening in some countries as terrorism and not accepting it when the same thing happens here,” he said.
