State Minister for Information and Broadcasting Mohammad Ali Arafat has described Bangladesh Udichi Shilpigoshthi's programme defying the directives issued by the government for the sake of public safety and its negative statement unexpected and unfortunate, reports BSS.
"Udichi Shilpigoshthi's programme defying the directives, issued by the government's security affairs agency for ensuring security of Pahela Baishakh, was inconsiderate and unfortunate incident," he told journalists at his Secretariat office in the city.
Arafat said, "The government gets hurt and very much shocked at this behavior of Udichi".
Many people were killed and many others became paralysed after being injured in bombings at Ramna Batamul in the capital and Udichi's programme in Jashore on Pahela Baishakh, he said.
The state minister said several members of police sacrificed their lives to prevent terrorist attack at Holey Artisan, Eid Jammat at Sholakia Maidan and in Sylhet and saved lives of people.
As the government remains always vigilant to ensure the safety of people's lives and property in every event, no terrorist attack or terrorist incident has occurred in Bangladesh in the recent past, he mentioned.
He said the government seeks everyone's cooperation in this regard.
