Home minister, Asaduzzaman Khan, has warned that if spreading of false rumour is not stopped on social media then strict action will be taken.
Photos from Pakistan, India and from clashes dating back to 2013-14 are being posted to trigger unrest, he said while inaugurating the seven day traffic week at Zero Point on Sunday afternoon.
The home minister also alluded to the theatrics by an actress who was a catalyst in spreading a rumour which later triggered clashes.
The home minister also said that thousands of young people had entered the street with false ID cards.
“We heard all the demands of students wanting safe roads; we will implement all the nine demands and this will take some time.”
The PM has ordered the army to construct an underpass so my request to guardians: please take your children and go back home, said the minister.
