Strict actions if BNP tries to create unstable situation: Nasim

Awami League (AL) Joint General Secretary AFM Bahauddin Nasim on Friday said strict actions will be taken if BNP-Jamaat creates an unstable situation in the name of movement in the country, reports BSS.

"Awami League is a party of people, it is the party that struggles on the street for the emancipation of people as it wants to spread peace in the country," he said addressing a meeting organised by Swechchhasebak and Discipline sub-committee, marking the 22nd national council of Awami League at the party president's political office in the city's Dhanmondi.

The convener of Swechchhasebak and Discipline Sub-committee Abul Hasanat Abdullah, MP, was present in the meeting.

Bahauddin Nasim said BNP-Jamaat carried out arson attacks in 2013 and 2014 and now they are trying to repeat the situation to create anarchy in the country.

"We will remain alert to any kind of plot being hatched by BNP-Jamaat and their cohorts," he said, adding leaders and activists of the Awami League will resist terrorists whenever they try to create in the country.

Replying to another question from journalists, Nasim said, "We are not thinking of the BNP-Jamaat rather AL leaders and activists are giving priority to the upcoming national council of the Awami League to be held on December 24.
