Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Friday came down heavily on BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir for his comments that "Pakistani regime was better".
"BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul's comment in Thakurgaon that Pakistan (regime) was better and using national flag on stick and rod in Dhaka are intertwined," he told journalists after joining a cheque distributing ceremony at MA Aziz Stadium in Chattogram, reports BSS.
He said BNP disregarded national standard and showed disrespect to the Liberation War, independence and sovereignty.
BNP created anarchic situation in different places and beat own activists in Munshiganj, he said, adding that now their target is to make an evil effort to create unrest in the country and if required, they will beat own activists to achieve their goal.
Hasan, also Awami League joint general secretary, said if BNP tries to create anarchy in the country again in the name of rally at divisional level, the government will deal their evil attempt with iron hand and the people will also resist them.
It's the government's responsibility to take action against anarchy makers, he mentioned.
Earlier, the minister, as the chief guest, addressed the Prime Minister's gifts' distribution ceremony for Harijan community and of Department of Social Welfare's cheque distribution ceremony for voluntary organisations. District administration arranged it.
