Dhaka, July 27, – Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal announced that the country's law and order situation is gradually returning to normal following the recent violence surrounding the quota reform movement. Speaking after a regular meeting with senior officials at his residence on Friday night, the minister indicated that a decision on whether to further relax the curfew would be made soon.
"The law and order situation in the country has improved more than before. Curfew will be lifted only when it is completely normal," said Asaduzzaman Khan. He added that the matter would be discussed in a meeting on Saturday, where a decision could be made regarding the current curfew.
The Home Minister assured the public that police, BGB, and army forces are working diligently to restore normalcy. "We have to wait a little until public life becomes normal. People should be patient," he said, hinting that curfew relaxation is a possibility depending on the situation's stability.
Addressing the brutal killings and violence that occurred during the movement, Asaduzzaman Khan questioned who would take responsibility for the country's loss. He challenged the BNP's claims of non-involvement in the violence, asking, "So who did it? It is a question of the people."
Furthermore, the minister clarified that the leaders of the quota movement have not been detained or arrested. He acknowledged their feelings of insecurity and mentioned that law enforcement has been deployed for their protection. "Further action will be taken after the inquiry," he concluded.
