CA’s call not to carry out attacks on AL leaders’ properties 

Chief Adviser of the interim government Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus has urged all not to carry out attacks on the properties of Awami League leaders including Sheikh Hasina.

The chief adviser’s press wing issued a statement in this regard on Friday. 

He stressed ensuring that there would be no further attacks on properties associated with the family of Sheikh Hasina and politicians of the fascist Awami League party or against any citizen on any pretext. 

The anger of the activists who have attacked properties is understandable because they and their relatives and friends lived through years of tyranny under Hasina. 

Despite this understanding, the government appealed to the citizens to abide by the law to show the world "we are a nation that respects of the rule of law". 

“Let us not undermine Bangladeshis’ sense of security and stability; any disregard for the law endangers the lives and property of citizens,” said the statement. 

“For the citizens who rose up and overthrew the Hasina regime in July and August to realise their dreams for the country, it is imperative to prove to ourselves and our friends around the world that our commitment to our principles – respecting one another’s civil and human rights and acting under the law – is unshakable.”

“Our security forces are aware of this imperative,” the statement said, adding the government is working with the country’s security forces to preserve law and order and to protect the lives and property of all Bangladeshis.

The government warned that if any attempt is made to destabilise the country through any kind of provocative activities, law enforcing agencies will immediately take strict action against anyone acting to create chaos and anarchy, which emphatically includes the destruction of property.

“The government will bring the responsible individuals and groups to justice.”

Chief Adviser Prof Yunus also called upon all citizens to materialise their dream of building a country where all Bangladeshis can live in security and dignity to act with self-discipline and to channel their energy into productive, peaceful efforts to support positive changes.
