There will be none to face if AL takes to streets: Hasan

Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud has said Awami League (AL) is a party of staging movements on streets and no one will be found if the leaders and activists of the party have been asked to take to the streets across the country, reports BSS.
"We don't want street fights and the activists of our party have been given directives to show restraint. Besides, BNP is on the streets and even they had uprooted the trees of the streets and vandalised the police boxes in 2013, 2014 and 2015. We want the party (BNP) will carry out their movement systematically. And all including the police administration will cooperate with them," he said.
The minister came up with the remarks while speakinh at a views-exchange meeting with reporters at his ministry at Secretariat in the city on Monday.
In fact, Hasan said BNP wants the politics of violence and their aim is to clash with police and people. And they want more dead bodies, he added.
He said many people are telling that the youth, who was killed in Munshiganj, was hit by a brick thrown by them (BNP) though it was not possible to come to a conclusion in this regard until now.
The minister said BNP fought each other in the name of movement. Even, they carried out attacks on police and innocent people and vandalised the public properties, he added.
The countrymen would resist them like the past, said Hasan, also Awami League joint general secretary.
He said BNP has been shouting for carrying out anti-government movement for the last 13 and a half years. It is the responsibility of the government to maintain peace and stability in the country and it is doing its job in a very moderate manner, he added.
