State Minister for Home Affairs Asaduzzaman Khan on Monday warned that stern actions will be taken against those who will try to create anarchy in the country in the name of any long march.
Talking to UNB, the State Minister said in a democratic society everyone has the right to observe any democratic programme.
“But, if they think to do anything else, if their programme violates the law, if their programme causes losses to public life and property then the government will be harsh to ensure the security of people. No one will be speared,” he said.
The junior minister came up with the warning when BNP leaders are repeatedly claiming that the government might obstruct their two-day long march towards the Teesta Barrage in Nilphamari.
BNP will launch the long march on Tuesday under the leadership of its acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, demanding the due share of Teesta water.
Asaduzzaman also said the government would extend its support if BNP observes it peacefully.
The BNP-led 19-party alliance also has extended their support to the long-march programme.
