'Attempts to Occupy Dhaka Streets in the Name of Movement Will Face Action'

Law enforcement agencies will take action if any attempt is made to occupy roads in Dhaka in the name of the movement, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan said today.

“The law enforcement agencies will do whatever is necessary if anyone tries to block roads, and carries out vandalism and arson attacks again in the name of the movement. If they observe their programmes for a short time then we have no problem,” he said.

The home minister came up with the remarks while talking to reporters after attending a certificate distribution programme on ‘Money Laundering Prevention and Financial Crime Investigation,” at Criminal Investigation Department (CID) headquarters.

“BNP is a political party and it is so normal that they will talk about many issues before the national election. Alongside, there are other parties which can hold political programmes and we have no problem with that,” he said.

He also urged all political parties to refrain from disrupting public movement by blocking roads._UNB
