Law Minister Md Asaduzzaman yesterday assured Jaitya Sangsad that the government will take legal action against those involved in the blast and power disruption at a rally organized by National Citizen Party (NCP).
Responding to concerns raised by NCP lawmaker Akhter Hossen (Rangpur-4), Law Minister Md Asaduzzaman said the government is treating the matter with utmost importance and promised a trans-parent investigation.
“We can assure the House that if anyone is found to be involved, the government will take the strongest possible legal action against them with full transparency,” the minister said.
Earlier, Akhter Hossen told Parliament that the NCP launched a nationwide “July March” program and held its inaugural rally in Savar on Monday night.
Power supply to the venue was cut before party leaders took the stage, he said.
He further alleged that an explosion occurred among the audience, leaving several people injured and causing panic, forcing organizers to cut the program short.
Hossen said NCP chief Nahid Islam, several central leaders and he himself were present at the gathering when the incident took place.
