The government led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the Bangladesh Awami League are determined to fight the conspiracy against the country and the rise of fanaticism with strong hands, said sources.
Besides, the ruling party has also started taking punitive measures against the intruders into the party, who are working against the party’s ideology and flouting its disciplines, the sources added.
According to sources, the high –ups of the government have asked the law-enforcement agencies and intelligence to go for actions against those who are trying to destabilize the tranquility of the country, which is progressing through various development activities .
Accordingly, the supreme command of the ruling party as well as its senior leaders have instructed the leaders and activists of different units and at the grassroots levels to remain active against the conspiracies being hatched by vested quarters along with some groups of fundamentalists. These conspirators are also misleading the innocent religious people of the country.
It may be recalled that some extremist Islamist groups, mainly extremist organisation Hefajat- e- Islam, with the support of the BNP, Jamaat and other anti-liberation forces are trying to create anarchy in the country. These groups are also trying to destroy the communal harmony through attacks on different other religious communities.
Recently, these fanatic groups in collaboration with vested quarters and conspirators are carrying out anarchy across the country. They killed many people, vandalized and set fire to houses of people, business establishments, transports and government offices. They also vandalized and destroyed many sculptures and murals of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, several cultural institutions, including Ustad Alauddin Music Centre at Brahmanbaria. These fanatics and conspirators are not only spreading rumours through various social media like You Tube and facebook while some others are delivering hate speeches to provoke innocent people into violence in the name of religion.
In the circumstances, many of the victims and law-enforcement agencies have filed cases for the anarchy while several people responsible for the anarchy and vandalism have already been arrested from different parts of the country.
Meanwhile, the ruling Bangladesh Awami League also has suspended more than 15 leaders of Awami League, Jubo League, Krishok League and Bangladesh Chhatra League, who are the intruders into the party and who had been patronizing the fundamentalists.
According to sources, in the last few days at least 10 leaders of Awami League, Jubo League, Krishok League and Chhatra league were suspended from the respective organisations for violating party discipline as well as patronizing fanaticism.
