Stay calm, don't be fooled by conspirators: Hasnat Abdullah

Hasnat Abdullah, the convener of Anti-Discrimination Student Movement, has urged the people across the country to remain calm.
He said, "Please stay patient and calm. Do not take the law into your own hands or create any kind of unstable environment.''
Hasnat said this in his verified Facebook post today. He said, "Our Bangladesh is a country of communal harmony. We will not allow anyone to disrupt this harmony under any circumstances."
He further added, "Since August 5, a certain group has been deliberately conspiring to create chaos in our country. Please do not get involved in internal conflicts and inadvertently pave the way for these conspirators to realise their heinous plans."
Earlier, Saiful Islam, a 32 year old lawyer was killed during a clash between police and followers of former ISKCON leader Chandan Kumar Dhar, alias Chinmoy Krishna Das Brahmachari, in the Chattogram Court Building area today.
In his Facebook post, Hasnat Abdullah demanded the immediate arrest and prosecution of Saiful's killers.
Calling on everyone to remain calm, vigilant, and patient, he also urged that if any specific organisation is found involved in this murder, action must be taken against that organisation as well.
Meanwhile, in a separate Facebook post, Sarjis Alam, general secretary of July Shaheed Smrity Foundation, said if any individual, terrorist group, or organisation attempts to incite communal riots using religion as a "tool", strict measures must be taken against them.
He said, "Whoever is involved, we demand the highest punishment for murder. No leniency for conspirators. Too much leniency will embolden them."
Sarjis also emphasised that extremism should be judged not by religion but by the act of extremism itself.
