Stern action if anyone creates anarchy: Tajul warns
Local Government, Rural Development and Co-operatives Minister Md Tajul Islam warned that stern action will be taken if anyone creates anarchy in the country by vandalism and bombings in the name of the movement.
He said, “Movement is democratic right of the people. But nobody has the right to create anarchy in the name of rights.”
Tajul urged the opposition political parties to play a responsible role in this regard.
The minister came up with the observation while addressing a discussion organised by Bangladesh Upazila Parishad Association marking National Mourning Day at Dhaka Reporters Unity on Saturday as the chief guest.
A dua mahfil and blood donation campaign were also arranged on the occasion.
Criticising the opposition parties, he said, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been working relentlessly to fulfil the dream of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. On the other hand, an anti-liberation force is engaged to confuse the people.
Tajul also said Bangladesh never loses its destination led by Sheikh Hasina.

The senior Awami League leader said people from all over the world are struggling due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The government has temporarily hiked the fuel prices to face the crisis. All have to face the crisis unitedly.
He also claimed that Bangladesh is still in a good position compared to the other countries in the world.
The minister said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina always wants the wellbeing of the people.
“Whatever, she decides, it will be pro-people.”
Regarding foreign loans, Tajul said international organisations and other development partners offer debt to Bangladesh as the country can refund it.
He also urged the people to refrain from circulating propaganda about a Sri-Lanka-like situation in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh Upazila Parishad Association president Harun-ur-Rashid chaired the function while Bangladesh Awami League Health and Population Affairs Secretary Dr Rebeka Sultana, among others, was present.
Siful Islam Khan Biru, General Secretary of the organisation moderated it.
