Minister Khosru warns of action

Finance Minister Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury has warned that no one seeking to undermine stability in Bangladesh will be spared, reports bdnews24.com

He made the remarks on Friday morning while speaking to reporters after inaugurating Swaraswati Gyan Mandir at the University of Chittagong.

Asked about the recent face-off between Jatiotabadi Chhatra Dal and Islami Chhatra Shibir, the student wings of the ruling BNP and opposition Jamaat-e-Islami, respectively, Amir Khosru said such incidents involved "unruly individuals", not party politics.

"The law of Bangladesh will deal with them. You can rest assured. No one has any chance to go beyond the law," he said.

"We are making it clear that there is no room for politicisation anywhere. I said in my speech at the university that outsiders must not be allowed in. Students will study at the university. There is no scope for politicisation here."

The Chattogram-11 lawmaker said the government had come to power with a pledge to build a "stable, sensitive and tolerant" country.

"If there is no stability in Bangladesh, there is no opportunity to move forward," he said.
