Information Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Monday termed the Bhola incident unfortunate and warned that tough action would be taken against the culprits who created the unstable situation there after hacking a Facebook ID, reports BSS.
"A vested quarter earlier tried to create chaotic situation in the country and the incident of Bhola was the continuation of their conspiracy," he told reporters after attending a seminar at a city hotel.
Bangladesh Air Force (BAF) and Civil Aviation Authority along with Bangladesh (CAAB) jointly organised the three-day seminar on International Flight Safety.
Hasan said it is not expected that anyone would create unstable situation after hacking Facebook ID of others.
"It is condemnable and punishable offence," he added.
Urging all to have patience, the minister said those who were behind the incident are the enemies of society and the country as well.
"The perpetrators will have to be dealt with an iron hand. They are now trying to divert the incident to other way," said Hasan, also the publicity and publication secretary of ruling Awami League.
Replying to a question over Jubo League conference, the minister said the conference of the organisation would play a pivotal role in bringing dynamism in the youth wing of AL and free it from stigma.
"A preparatory committee has been formed to hold the conference. And Im think the conference would play an important role in making Jubo League strong in the days to come," he added.
Responding to another query about an allegation against Rashed Khan Menon on casino issue, Hasan said "I don't want to say anything as the matter is under investigation. It will be regretful, if the allegation is proved true," he added.
