Anarchy in name of road march won’t be tolerated: Quamrul

The state minister for law, justice and parliamentary affairs, Quamrul Islam, has said none will be allowed to create anarchy in the name of opposition's road marches.

'The government will strictly control any destructive activities or disorder in the name of opposition's road marches,' said the minister.

Quamrul was speaking at a discussion on 'Necessity of Caretaker Government and Present Perspective' organised by Sammilita Tarun Peshajibi Parishad (Combined Youth

Professional Council) at Dhaka Reporters' Unity in capital's Segunbagicha

area on Saturday.

President of Sammilita Tarun Peshajibi Parishad Jakir Ahmed chaired the discussion.

Among others, Golam Mowla Roni MP, Daily Surjyadai editor Khandaker Mozammel Haque and Krishak League organising secretary MA Karim also spoke on the occasion.

The minister claimed that the war crimes trial process in Bangladesh was more transparent than any other countries of the world.

'The present government has taken all steps including self-defence and appointment of observers to ensure the trial as an international standard,' he said.

He mentioned that the trial procedure would begin on the first of next year.

The AL lawmaker accused the BNP-led opposition of initiating road march programme to save the war criminals, grenade attackers and militant

outfits.

Quamrul categorically denied the opposition demand for the restoration of caretaker government system and said, 'The caretaker system has been

cancelled constitutionally, so there is no scope to

discuss it.'

He added that no polls held during the caretaker government were free from the controversy.

Quamrul again called upon the opposition to return to parliament to form a stronger Election Commission  through discussion.
