Chaudhury added that strong measures could prevent such violence in the future and expressed confidence in the minister’s role. “I believe if he takes strong steps, it is possible. We have full faith in him,” he added.Referring to the political situation over the past several years, Chaudhury said, “Whatever has happened in the last eight years is gone, but such incidents should not be repeated. We believe he will take necessary steps and we have faith in him.”
