Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader today said the government is committed to ensure people's safety and security and their properties in any circumstances.
"We know that BNP will go back to their usual path of terrorism to hide its failure. But we want to say clearly that the government is committed to ensure the safety of people's lives and properties in any situation," he said in a statement.
Quader, also the road transport and bridges minister, said it is the key responsibility of the government to provide peace and security to the people in normal circumstances.
Apart from ensuring peace and security, the government continues to provide relief to the people amid the ongoing global crisis, he said, adding that in this era of free flow of information, the country's people know better how deep the impact of the global crisis is, and the government is making constant efforts to deal with the crisis.
"But the BNP is desperate to seize the state power through intrigues capitalising on the global crisis," the AL general secretary said.
He said when all political and social organisations across the world are making concerted efforts amid this humanitarian crisis, the BNP, as the opposition party, has chosen the path of destructive politics.
Quader blamed that the BNP leaders are inciting anarchy in the country and they are also making misleading statements purposefully without getting proper response from commoners.
BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir admitted that their rallies were held peacefully, which means that the government did not create hindrance to their rallies, he said.
The road transport and bridges minister said the government was only alert so that the BNP could not resort to any terrorist act during its rallies.
