In response to the statement of the BNP leaders, the Awami League president said, ‘Those who look for soil under their feet, it is doubtful whether they have soil under their feet or not. I still hear that the government will overthrow it. There is no ground under our feet. They will only revolutionize by talking at length. They have decayed while making the revolution.’

We have been able to deal with militancy and terrorism in the best way in Bangladesh. We do not want militancy and terrorism. We want the people of the country to live in peace. Because if there is a peaceful environment, the country will prosper.”
