Govt rules out seeking out army

STAFF CORRESPONDENT
The government yesterday ruled out any possibility of army intervention to assist the civil administration in tackling the current situation.
"The current situation is not abnormal and doesn't call for army," BNP Secretary General Abdul Mannan Bhuiyan told the reporters.
He blasted a news item run by a section of dailies forecasting deployment of army.
Replying to a question, Mannan, also the LGRD and cooperatives minister, said the government is very serious to find out the criminals involved in Saturday's attack on Awami League (AL) rally and taken every possible step to ensure peace

State Minister for Home Lutfozzaman Babar told The Daily Star,"The government hasn't taken any decision to call army or deploy joint forces to maintain the law and order."
He described the news as false and ridiculous.
Referring to Saturday's blasts, he said the criminals, who perpetrated those heinous acts, are not merely the enemies of Awami League or BNP, rather they are the enemy of the country, people and democracy.
"We too are anxious about the attacks. This time the criminals attacked Awami League rally and they may launch similar attacks on us when we'll be in the opposition," Babar said adding that, the government is determined to get to the root of the recent attacks.
"We've engaged skilled, efficient intelligence both from the army and the police to probe the attack. We have already made some progress but it is still at the preliminary stage," he said.
When asked whether the Saturday's grenade attack bore any political link, Babar said it is too early to comment.
Regarding foreign assistance in investigation into the blasts, he said, "We are open and examining whether we need any foreign help."
On Indian proposal to assist Bangladesh, he said, "I haven't received any proposal officially. I've just seen it in the newspaper today."
Talking to The Daily Star, Environment and Forest Minister Tariqul Islam said the cabinet on Monday night while adopting a condolence resolution discussed the blast incidents in detail and laid stress on immediate detection of the behind-the-scenes culprits.
He said the prime minister herself is very sincere in hunting down the criminals and directed all the authorities concerned to do everything possible to bring the criminals to book.
