He said, whether the attack on people belonging to different religions was due to religious or political reasons, it should be investigated. It cannot be continued because it is for religious reasons, it is also for political reasons. There is still a conspiracy going on about the issues.
Asked whether there was any talk about banning Jamaat or not, Amir said there was no talk about it. I did not come here to talk about the party. But we don’t get banned just because someone bans us. They have done wrong, for which the countrymen have to pay.
Referring to the prevailing situation in the country, Dr. Shafiqur Rahman said that effective initiatives should be taken to bring the violence and law and order situation under control across the country.
