State Minister for Home Affairs Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal made the call in a meeting comprising law enforcers, leaders of the Muslim and Hindu communities at his secretariat on Monday.
“The government will be able to fight terrorism and extortion strongly like before,” Kamal said.
He added that the government will show its zero tolerance policy on extortion ahead of the religion festivals.
In this regard, the law enforcers have been given directions, he said.
