"Those fuelling and trying to mislead people (by infiltrating the student and teacher movements), their efforts will not be successful," the minister said.
He made the comments while speaking at a discussion at the Jatiya Press Club in the city on Thursday.
Hasan, also Awami League joint general secretary, made the comments while addressing a discussion on 'Sheikh Hasina's Balanced Foreign Policy and Bangladesh's Internal Development' organised by the Weekly Gana Bangla and Swadhinata Parishad at Jatiya Press Club in the city on Thursday.
Hasan, also the Awami League's joint general secretary, clarified that the government had cancelled the quota system in response to student demands. He emphasised that the reinstatement of the quota system was a court decision, not a government action. "The protest is surely against the court decision. The solution also needs to come from the court," he stated.
Earlier on Thursday, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court upheld a High Court verdict restoring the 30 per cent quota for freedom fighters' descendants in 9th to 13th-grade government jobs. The ruling sparked protests among students opposing the reinstatement.
In a sharp critique, the minister described BNP as a 'party of parasites.' "BNP has no capacity to go for any movement," he said, adding that the party is now haunted by the 'Tarique-ghost,' a reference to the influence of Tarique Rahman, the exiled acting chairman BNP.
"BNP leaders are also panicked about losing their party posts," he said, suggesting internal turmoil within the opposition party.
Former Vice-Chancellor of Jagannath University (JnU) Dr Mizanur Rahman , among others, also spoke at the event.
AL leader MA Karim presided over the discussion.
