Road Transport and Bridges Minister and Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Saturday warned BNP that the law enforcement agencies will take necessary steps if the party carries out any sort of violence in the name of movement.
"We will face BNP's strategy of movement politically, if it remains political. If the party carries out violence and sabotage in the name of movement, the law enforcement agencies will take necessary actions to protect the life and property of people," he told newsmen while conducting a leaflet distribution campaign in the city's New Market area.
