BNP was involved in Hefajat’s recent mayhem: Quader
Road Transport and Bridges Minister and Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader today said BNP is directly and indirectly involved in the recent violence carried out by Hefajat-e-Islam in different parts of the country.
BNP not only provided patronage but was also involved in the recent violence, he said during a virtual views-exchange meeting with Rajshahi Zone BRTC and BRTA officials from his residence.
Quader said none was arrested because of their affiliation with certain parties or their identities as "Alem-Ulama".
Those who were directly involved in the mayhem, attacked and set fire to government establishments and houses were arrested after scrutinising video footage, he added.
The minister said although service-seekers facing harassments at BRTA offices has decreased as compared to the past, there are still complaints in some areas.
Those should stop, he added.
He instructed concerned officials to take forward construction work before the monsoon.
