Dhaka Metropolitan Police additional commissioner and Detective Branch chief Harun Or Rashid on Saturday said that intruders entered into the quota movement to divert it in a different direction.
Referring to giving instigation among the agitating students by others, he said, 鈥業f someone does not obey the order of the court, damage the lives and properties and blockade the roads, then the law enforcers will carry out the logical tasks to this end.鈥�
He was addressing a press conference in the capital鈥檚 DB headquarters.
Relying to a query, the DB chief said that quota was prevailing not only in Bangladesh but also in many countries.
鈥楽ome people, some students are protesting on the streets against the quota... The Appellate Division of the Bangladesh Supreme Court has already given a stay order for one month on the quota system in government jobs,鈥� he mentioned.
Noting that the Supreme Court is a place of trust for all, Harun said that everyone should follow the directives of the honourable court, but for several days the students did not go to their classes.
鈥極n the contrary, the agitating students are disrupting the pedestrians鈥� smooth movement and also went violent on vehicles. A case has been filed with the police in this connection,鈥� he added.
The DB chief said that if someone thought that he or she would not obey the court or police, 鈥楾hen what should we do? We will do according to our capacity of the country鈥檚 existing law.鈥�
The DB chief also requested the agitating students to go back to classes and wait for the court鈥檚 order.
