Interim government Adviser Mahfuj Alam has warned against mob activities, vowing to take tougher action against those attempting to disrupt the law-and-order situation, and such actions would be dealt with firmly from now on.
“If you support the uprising, stop mob acts. And if you engage in mob activities, you will be treated as devil,” Mahfuj posted on his verified Facebook page on Monday.

No further requests for compliance would be made following the recent incidents, Mahfuj said, “Your duty is not to take the law into your own hands. From now on, we will deal with so-called movements and mob displays with an iron hand. If there is any effort to render the state ineffective or prove it a failure, not an inch of concession will be given.”
He also talked about religious groups, reminding them of the peace they had enjoyed for over a decade. “After one and a half decades, you have had the opportunity to practise your religion and culture in peace. Your recklessness or extremism is about to put that peace at risk,” he said.

Urging restraint, Mahfuj reiterated a final appeal, “Refrain from oppression, or oppression upon you inevitable. ‘Do not oppress, and do not be oppressed’,” he shared a verse from the Holy Quran.
“This is our last request,” he asserted.
