Law-enforcement agencies in Bangladesh are prepared to thwart any violent protest from BNP over the election schedule for the 12th general election, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan says. The minister shrugged off talk of civil war in the country. “A civil war occurs only when the odds are 50-50,” he said. After setting the date for Biswa Ijtema in a meeting with Islamic scholars at the Secretariat on Wednesday, he said: “Our security forces are sufficiently prepared. Our security forces are very skilled and can tackle any challenge.”
