Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan on Saturday urged BNP to carry out their political activities in a "disciplined way", making it clear that the government will not stop from taking action if they (BNP) resort to violence.
The minister said these on the sidelines of the inauguration ceremony of the mini-marathon and annual sports competition arranged by the Public Security Division at the Secretariat on Saturday, reports UNB.
Asserting that carrying sticks to political programmes is clearly “against the law”, the Home Minister said, “We have seen BNP activists thronging rallies with sticks in their hands, following the directives of their leaders.”
“We won’t interfere if they remain peaceful. But we’ll surely take action if they become violent,” he added.
