The Home Minister said that law enforcers were not arresting people as per whims. They have specific reasons. He said these replying to a query from reporters after addressing the triennial conference of Bangladesh Chhatra Jubo Oikya Parishad in the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB) auditorium in the city.
The Oikya Parishad is a wing of Bangladesh Hindu-Buddha-Christian Oikya Parishad.
Replying to another question about the arrest of Mozammel Haque Chowdhury, Secretary General of Bangladesh Jatri Kalyan Samity (BJKS), a passengers’ welfare platform, he said law enforcers are looking into the case filed against him. “There’s nothing to be worried. He won’t face any problem if his involvement is not found during investigation,” Asaduzzaman said.
Earlier, addressing the function, the Home Minister said religion is for individuals but state is for all. “Everyone here will stay together and perform their respective religious rituals.”
No one can thwart development of Bangladesh, which has been built on a non-communal spirit, he said. “The struggle for establishing equal rights and equal status for all will continue,” he added.
