Awami League lawmakers have been asked to go to their respective constituencies and carry out campaign against the spread of rumours and mass beating, Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader said today.

The instruction has been given by Jatiya Sangsad Chief Whip Noor-e-Alam Chowdhury Liton, Quader said while briefing journalists at his secretariat this afternoon.

The minister said party leaders and activists have also been given instructions from the party to raise awareness against the ill effects of spreading rumours in their localities.

“Rumours have resulted in some very terrifying situation. People have been injured, even killed and the government has taken a very strict stance. And I believe this will come under control soon,” the minister added.

“I have talked to the IGP (Inspector General of police) and the home minister and they have assured me they are working on the matter,” he further said.
