DHAKA: State Minister for Law Quamrul Islam Monday said the attitude of opposition showed that they would follow the path of anarchy.

He said, “Their act of violence as well as anarchy would force the government to take hard-line stand.”

The minister issued the warning while talking to journalists after addressing an anti-hartal procession at Awami league central office Bangabandhu Avenue in city.
