“We have to put emphasis on this cyber propaganda and face this with some bold and effective steps involving the young generation,” he said.
Referring to the raise of militant activities in the United Kingdom, the AL general secretary said these days the East London and its mosque became the den of militants of Europe and it is expanding day by day.
“There’s no reason to get relaxed saying this is not our problem. Maybe this is not our problem right now, but it might be ours tomorrow,” he said.
At this point, the Prime Minister also supported her deputy saying this militant force might carry out dangerous activities in Bangladesh, too.
