It is allegedly learnt that a section of people who are the followers of fascist Hasina is going to create anarchy across the country marking the upcoming Victory Day celebrations on Monday.
After the fall of fascist Hasina, conspiracies continue to destroy the law order situation of Bangladesh by the supporters of Awami League.
Experts said though the fascist AL government has gone in the face of steep resistance of the Anti-Discrimination Student-People Movement, its compatriots are still hatching conspiracy.
“As a result, fugitive fallen Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is still saying that she will enter soon. And after coming to power, she will see everyone taking revenge”.
Recently dozens of people have been detained on various allegations including sabotage marking the Victory Day celebrations across the country.
In this regards, Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Additional Commissioner (DB chief) Rezaul Karim Mallik told The New Nation that police are alert enough to tackle any sort of anarchy and sabotage marking the Victory Day celebrations.
