Country now facing global conspiracy: Home Minister
Dhaka: Bangladesh is falling prey to global conspiracy following the destruction of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria, observed Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal on Saturday.
Addressing a discussion with mosque clergy [Imam] at Kamrangirchar in Dhaka he said, ‘Information is being obtained in the United States within five minutes an offence has taken place in the Middle East! And a source based in the US immediately claims the responsibility of the offensive attack!... IS [Islamic State] has no branch here [in Bangladesh]. IS has no activity here. But they [the western nations] are saying that IS is active here.’
‘IS is a part of global conspiracy. [We] will certainly foil any initiative of foreign intervention with the help of our countrymen,’ he added.
He also asked the clerics to come forward in this regard.
Food Minister Kamrul Islam and Dhaka Metropolitan Police commissioners also addressed the discussion.
