The Home Affairs Advisor said that the situation in Gopalganj is currently calm and under control. All those involved in the incident will be brought to justice. No political identity will be seen here. He also said that any party can question the role of law enforcement agencies. The government has nothing to say in this matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
