Police will take legal action and deal firmly with those behind attacks on buses and establishments amid recent cocktail explosions and sporadic unrest in different parts of the capital, Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed has said.
"We have noticed that the fallen forces occasionally attack buses and establishments to create instability. Police will take legal action and deal with them firmly," he told reporters in front of the Ministry of Home Affairs on Monday.
Asked who was behind the unrest, the home minister said: "Whoever they are, they are miscreants."
Asked about the nationwide strike called by the Awami League, whose activities have been banned and its banned student wing, Bangladesh Chhatra League, he responded: "Is that so? Then you will see how the strike takes place."
At least eight buses have been set on fire and more than 50 crude bomb explosions have been reported at different locations in the capital over the past few days.
