Many people, including the opposition, are trying to take advantage, but if they do excess in the name of movement, people's sufferings will only increase," she said.Hasina noted that she has directed concerned authorities to allow the opposition to stage their movement and not to arrest and disturb anyone for this."The opposition will try to misuse the situation, but if they do any destruction, it is the people who will ultimately suffer. The protesters should realise that," she said, adding: "If they want to besiege the Prime Minister's office, let them do it."Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
