Former adviser Asif Mahmud Shojib Bhuyain has said he could resolve the country’s law and order situation if given responsibility for the Home Ministry for two weeks.
“If you cannot do it, give me the Home Ministry for two weeks. I’ll fix things,” he wrote in a Facebook post published at 3:27pm today (15 November).
His remark came amid growing concerns over a series of criminal incidents across the country, including crude bomb attacks, arson attacks, theft, snatching and other offences.
The post also came amid heightened tension in Gopalganj, where activists of the banned Awami League and its affiliated organisations staged processions, broke police barricades and allegedly vandalised a supershop earlier in the day.
Hundreds of activists reportedly gathered at different locations in the district town, chanting slogans in support of Awami League President Sheikh Hasina. They also set tyres on fire at several locations, prompting increased security deployment across the town.
The demonstrations disrupted normal activities, with shops temporarily closing and residents expressing concern over the situation.
Police, Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), Armed Police Battalion (APBn) and other law enforcement personnel were deployed to maintain order.
