Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Thursday said the BNP has come to the surface with a plan to create chaos across the country.

“BNP has arranged different programmes with a plan of creating anarchy across the country. For this, they (BNP) are carrying out attacks on police and innocent pedestrians and vandalising properties of people,” he said.

The minister added that the BNP has started to create a new version of instability that the party unleashed in 2013, 2014 and 2015 in the country.

Hasan said this while talking to reporters at the meeting room of his ministry at the Secretariat in the capital, reports Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha.

He said, “I’ve talked with Narayanganj police. BNP held the rally by blocking the road without taking permission from the police or district administration or City Corporation. Police requested them (BNP) to hold the rally in front of their party office. But, they didn’t pay heed to the police and blocked the road and threw stones and bricks at the police.”

Even, the minister said, the BNP men vandalised the police box. Later, police fired teargas in self-defence, said Hasan, also Awami League joint general secretary.

He said the person who died there is a nephew of the union parishad chairman and AL union unit general secretary. His full identity is under investigation, he added.

He said BNP does politics of killing people. They have killed innocent people through patrol bombs and arson attacks from 2013 to 2015, he added.

The minister said such types of killings to materialise political ambitions, which BNP did, never happened across the globe in the last three to four decades. The BNP wants more dead bodies by creating anarchy across the country, he added.

Regarding fuel price, Hasan said the price of fuel has increased in the global market again. But the premier has decreased the fuel price considering the sufferings of common people, he said, adding the bus fare has also decreased.

But, he said, BNP leaders are criticizing the decision.
