The members of law enforcement agencies are arresting students based on specific evidence of their involvement in acts of sabotage and terror during the recent quota reform movement.

“Only those, directly involved in terrorism and violence, are being arrested based on specific information,” Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader said in a statement issued on Monday.

In the statement, he also blamed a group of people for instigating the students by spreading misinformation on social media against law enforcement agencies.

The cyber criminals are spreading false information and fake pictures of the quota reform movement to the international media, he said.

He also held BNP-Jamaat men responsible for setting fire to Metrorail Station and BTV Bhaban and said, “It was a well-designed and loathsome destruction. All perpetrators will be brought to book for punishment.”
