Dhaka Metropolitan Police or DMP Commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia has warned that legal action will be taken against the offenders if any book hurting religious sensibilities or disrupting communal harmony is found at the book fair.
"Surveillance team of Bangla Academy and police detectives will remain active. If any such book is found in a stall, proper action will be taken against them," he said in a briefing after inspecting the security measures of the Bangla Academy and Suhrawardy Udyan on Thursday, a day before the beginning of the Amar Ekushey Book Fair.
“Any book that hurts religious sentiment and disrupts communal harmony is prohibited.â€
Police closed a stall of Ba-Dip claiming that the publication agency had been selling a book titled 'Islam Bitorko’ (Islam Controversy)', which first came to the 2016 book fair.
