‘Mujib Borsho’: Security beefed up across country
Necessary security measures have been taken across the country, marking "Mujib Borsho", Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan said yesterday.
The measures are part of the overall security on the occasion of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's birth centenary, he added.
More than one lakh guests are expected to attend the programme, he said after a meeting at his ministry.
In response to a query, he said, "There is no possibility of anarchy during the occasion. We haven't received any such information from intelligence."
When asked what the authorities would do if any protest against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi takes place during the occasion, he replied, "I'd refer to what the Awami League general secretary has said on the issue."
On March 2, Obaidul Quader, also road transport and bridges minister, told reporters that people should welcome the Indian premier instead of protesting his visit.
