Home secretary Abdul Karim said Thursday action would be taken against Abdul Mannan Bhuiyan if he had violated emergency powers rules by using loudspeakers at his Gulshan home, reports bdnews24.com.
Bhuiyan, expelled as BNP secretary general by chairperson Khaleda Zia Monday, held a meeting Wednesday at his Gulshan home where loudspeakers were used.
Reporters asked Karim whether Bhuiyan had violated the emergency powers rules and whether the home ministry would take action and he replied: "If the emergency powers rules were violated, action would definitely be taken. We have to check."
Karim's remarks came in a briefing to reporters after a meeting on "Raising public awareness for prevention of militant activities" at the home ministry.
After the meeting, the home secretary said: "Islam is a religion of peace. Islam does not support extremism and militant activities. Islam is a complete way of life, not a way of death.
