On Friday (10 November), Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud said no one in the world burns public transport in the name of strike or blockade.
"It is not the work of a political party. Those are activities of terrorist organizations," the minister said, replying to reporters after a meeting with the leaders of Online News portal Association Bangladesh (ONAB) at his official residence in city's Mintu Road.
"BNP activists attack the people and burn public transports in the name of movement and the party leaders are announcing blockade programmes from caves. The government is firmly determined to take legal steps against all terrorists and miscreants," he added.
Urging all to build united resistance against the terrorists, the minister said the miscreants are the enemies of the country and its people. They are more dangerous than the ferocious hyenas, the minister said.
Among others, ONAB president Mollah M Amzad Hossain, general secretary Shaheen Chowdhury, vice president Sowmithra Deb, joint general secretaries Md Siddiqur Rahman and Ashraful Kabir, members Professor Apu Ukil, Nazrul Islam Mithu and Ayaon Ahmed were also present at the meeting.
