Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal Sunday said the government has no objection to any systematic meeting and rally.

"We have no objection to any systematic rally, meeting, and campaign. If anybody wants to create anarchy, members of the law enforcement agencies will not sit idle," he told journalists at Bangladesh Secretariat here.

Reply to queries of journalists after a meeting on law and order on the occasion of the National Mourning Day, he said, if anyone attempts to blockade streets and make damages to lives and properties of the people, law enforcers must take actions, reports BSS.

Kamal said it's up to BNP whether they will take part in polls or not.

Noting that BNP is holding meetings in front of the Jatiya Press Club regularly, he said: "We are not obstructing them. But we won't allow them to block roads and damage any public property".
