‘No unrest in country following Hasina’s verdict’

There is no unrest in the country following ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina’s death sentence verdict, said Home Affairs Adviser Lt Gen (retd) Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury on Wednesday.

There has been some political unrest following the death sentence handed down to Sheikh Hasina. While asking about anarchy or any potential threats ahead of the Victory Day celebrations, the adviser reaffirmed that nothing unexpected had occurred in connection with the verdict. There is no possibility of any unrest on Victory Day.

Jahangir Alam made this comment after an inter-ministerial security meeting held at the Secretariat.

He said the Victory Day events will proceed as scheduled and noted that there is no reason to anticipate any disturbance during the commemorations.

”Parade will not take place this year too.”
