No leniency will be shown to those creating anarchy and they will be dealt with firmly, ICT Minister Faqir Mahbub Anam said on Saturday.
“Any attempt to destabilize the country through planned acts of violence will be resisted by the people,” he said.
The ICT Minister made the remarks while addressing a mass procession and protest rally held in Tangail’s Dhanbari, protesting attempts to destabilize the country through planned acts of violence.
The minister said the Prime Minister had clearly announced that no leniency would be shown to those creating anarchy and that they would be dealt with firmly.
He further said those who do not believe in democracy would be confronted by the people. “The people want peace. We will take all necessary measures, together with the people, to restore peace in the country,” he said.
The procession started from the Dhanbari Upazila BNP office and passed through the Dhaka-Tangail-Joydebpur-Jamalpur Highway, the Dhanbari-Tarakanda Regional Road and various roads in the local market before returning to the party office.
Leaders and activists of Dhanbari Upazila and Pourashava BNP, Jubo Dal, Chhatra Dal, Mohila Dal, Sramik Dal, Swechchhasebak Dal, JASAS and other affiliated and associate organizations of BNP participated in the mass procession.
