He said this during a meeting with a delegation from the Bangladesh Buddhist Federation at the secretariat on Wednesday. Following the meeting, he addressed questions from the media on Wednesday.
"In the hills, there are known individuals who create chaos," he said. "Some people always try to worsen the situation, which the media has effectively highlighted. Our law enforcement agencies have managed the incidents that have occurred there very well."
