No student will be harassed during probe, says Hasan

Foreign Minister Hasan Mahmud has said every incident of recent attacks and sabotage will be investigated to ensure justice, reports UNB.

He also said no genuine students will be harassed during the investigation.

"Those who killed PS of Gazipur ex-mayor Jahangir and police in Dhaka, those who hanged their bodies, threw BCL activists from the six-storey building in Chattogram, burnt public and private property will not be spared. I have seen the footage of vandalism and arson on BTV. Those who carried out these attacks will not be spared from legal actions," he said.

Hasan, also the joint general secretary of Awami League, told this while speaking at a discussion on 'Anti-state, Anti-Liberation, Terrorism and Anarchy' at Jatiya Press Club in the capital on Friday.

He also said many people were prosecuted after the sabotage in 2013-14, some escaped through the loopholes of the law.

"That won't happen this time. Every attacker will be brought to justice," said the Awami League leader.

Hasan said BNP's Tarique Rahman ordered the attacks on the state.

The foreign minister said Tarique Rahman's voice has come to the hands of the government.

"If you carry out a big attack, get a big post. Break the curfew, if not, leave the post," Hasan quoted Tarique Rahman as saying.

The foreign minister said another BNP leader urged his partymen to enter the movement and create anarchy.

They are the ones who have given the confessional statement that Tk 5,000 will be given if a BCL worker is killed, and Tk 10,000 if a policeman is killed, Hasan said, posing a question, "Is this any political party? It is an anti-state terrorists organisation."
