UNB, Dhaka :
State Minister for Home Affairs Asaduzzaman Khan on Thursday said stern action would be taken if BNP tries to create anarchy and destroy public property in the name of movement.
“We have no objection if BNP goes for a constructive movement. But any divergence in this regard won’t be tolerated,” he said while speaking at a rally in front of the Jatiya Press Club.
‘Amra Nagarbashi’ organised the programme
on the occasion of Eid-ul-Fitr. The junior minister said BNP is planning to launch the movement at a time when the nation will be observing the month-long mourning beginning on August 1.
Claiming that the country’s people are now living in peace, he mentioned that they celebrated the Eid festival with ease and without any hassle.
Observing that the people want peace and freedom to move without any hassle, Asaduzzaman said Awami League leaders and activists will not sit idle if any attempt is made to destroy this peaceful environment. “We’ll be on the street. “Then we’ll see how much power does BNP hold.”
Reminding BNP, he said the government will not hesitate to take appropriate steps to handle the situation if BNP repeats its violent movement as they did before the January-5 national election when people were burnt alive and buses and trains torched.
Food Minister Quamrul Islam and leaders of Dhaka city unit of AL spoke at the rally.
