Since the BNP and Jamaat, supported by militants, anti-state forces and conspirators at home and abroad, have been trying to create anarchy in the guise of political programmes, all law-enforcement agencies and security forces have been put on alert.
Alongside the law-enforcing and intelligence agencies, the ruling Bangladesh Awami League also remains alert as volunteers to check violence.
According to sources, in the guise of repeated political programmes, the BNP and Jamaat have been trying to continue violence to fish in troubled waters.
They are also resorting to violence through arson on vehicles and public properties as well as attacks on law-enforcers.
The BNP-Jamaat and some of their like-minded minor political parties are now found to be holding the mass people hostage. They are putting blockades on the roads halting traffic movement, which ultimately is leaving people in misery.
When the upcoming 12th National Parliamentary election is scheduled to be held in the last week of the month of December this year, the BNP is trying to create anarchy with a view to ousting the present Awami League government led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
In the guise of its demand for a caretaker government, which is unconstitutional and rejected by the Supreme Court, the party and its allied forces are trying to hand over state power to the undemocratic and unconstitutional forces.
As part of their continuous attempts, BNP-Jamaat and their allies have been resorting to violence in the capital city Dhaka and elsewhere in the country.
They have been setting vehicles, including passenger buses and police vehicles, on fire and damaging public properties alongside attacks on the law-enforcers.
Earlier in 2013 and 14, in their attempts to foil the last 11th National Parliamentary election and the process of the war criminals' trial, BNP, Jammat and their allied forces, including fundamentalists and conspirators at home and abroad, carried out massacres through arson terrorism and vandalism countrywide.
They set hundreds of vehicles, government offices and educational institutions on fire while uprooting thousands of trees and railway tracks.
They burnt several hundred people alive by hurling petrol bombs into many moving passenger buses while several thousand others also sustained severe burn injuries.
Besides, several hundred engines and bogies of trains were also damaged.
In a written speech on February 17 in 2015, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina mentioned that in the attacks by the BNP, Jamaat and their allied forces, more than 20 personnel from the Bangladesh Army, Border Guard Bangladesh, Bangladesh Police, Ansar and other security forces were killed.
As per the PM's speech, the activists of BNP and Jamaat also made attacks on temples, mosques and other religious institutions.
Meanwhile, in view of ensuring security and averting violence, all the law-enforcement and intelligence agencies have been put on high alert. CCTV cameras and check posts have been installed at all the strategic points.
Alongside police, personnel from the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), Coast Guard, Border Guard Bangladesh and Ansar have been engaged for the security purpose.
Besides, plainclothes personnel from different intelligence agencies have also been asked to remain alert all over the country.
Moreover, the ruling Awami League has instructed all of its affiliated and associated organisations to keep their leaders and activists alert so that none could cause trouble.
They have been asked to remain alert in all of their respective areas.
