Violence to be dealt with iron hand: PM


Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said Sunday the government will deal with an iron fist if anyone tries to create any sort of violence and chaos after October 24.
She came up with the comment amid tension as the ruling and the opposition parties are planning to hold rallies in the capital on October 25.
The premier was speaking at a meeting of Awami League Central Working Committee (ALCWC) at her official residence Gono Bhaban around 8:00pm.
Hasina, who also heads the ruling AL, said if the president does not dissolve the parliament, it will continue until the schedule for the national election is announced. “There is no constitution conflict in it.”
Saying parliament must sit every 60 days according to the constitution, she also criticised the main opposition BNP’s claim of dissolving the parliament after October 24.
She said BNP is trying to “mislead” people by asking for the dissolution of the parliament.
