Those who did communal politics carried out Cumilla incident: Hasan Mahmud

Hasan said it must be revealed that who were behind the incident. Their motive is clear that why they did a video clip viral in social media, he added.
He said the peace and discipline are stable in the country and it is going ahead amid the COVID 19 pandemic. “The epidemic is almost under control.
