Foreign Minister Hasan Mahmud has said BNP-Jamaat activists created anarchy over quota reform movement in the country, reports UNB.
The minister came up with the remarks while speaking at a human chain programme against terrorism and anarchy in front of the Jatiya Press Club in the city on Saturday.
Hasan, also the Awami League joint general secretary, said the miscreants created chaos in the country using the students' movement as part of their ill-motive and carrying out various unruly activities including vandalism and arson, which were even worse than medieval barbarism.
He said all anarchists and conspirators will be brought to justice and every act of sabotage will be investigated.
"We have the footages too. All those involved in killings, vandalism and arson will be tracked down and brought to justice," he added.
Hasan said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was in favor of the students' demands from the very beginning and urged the students to be patient.
"But as the students were impatient, miscreants took advantage of that. I will tell the students, you must be careful so that you do not fall under anyone's trap," he said.
Religious Affairs Minister Md Faridul Haque Khan who spoke as special guest said BNP-Jamaat wanted to catch fish in the troubled water by taking advantage of the students' movement.
"They attacked every key point installations in the country to paralyse Bangladesh. Islam never supports those who think of doing harm. Those who carried out this destruction across the country will be brought under the law and punished," he added.
The minister also said an attack was carried out on Metrorail station and the general public is finding it difficult to travel.
"Our police force has suffered much. Today the members of the police force are crying in the hospital. A policeman was killed and hanged. This brutality of BNP-Jamaat has exceeded all previous records," he said.
Chairman of Bangladesh United Islami Party Maulana Md. Ismail Hossain presided over the programme.
