Commerce Minister Tofail Ahmed said Sunday the terrorist activities and sniper attacks being carried out by BNP and its allies in the name of blockade would be dealt with an iron hand indicating that the government will go for a stronger countrywide drive after Biswa Ijtema, reports UNB.
"These (sniper attacks and killings) won't yield any benefit. The government will tackle such secret killings and terrorist acts with an iron hand after Biswa Ijtema," the Minister told journalists at his Secretariat office.
Referring to fraudulent statement and so-called phone-call issues, the Commerce Minister said the people of the country are very much conscious these days, and spreading misinformation will not bring any good.
On the alleged confinement of BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia, Mr Tofail said she has been staying there on her own. "She could go back home if she wants to."
The Commerce Minister alleged that Khaleda adopted the self-confinement policy to create anarchy in the country but her desire to destabilise the country would not be successful.
