, June 24 -- Stating that the BNP does not believe in mob culture, BNP Vice Chairman Abdul Awal Mintoo on Tuesday said the incidents of mob violence are taking place due to the absence of an elected government in the country.

"Mob justice is never acceptable under any circumstances. These incidents are happening because there is no elected government in place," he told a leaflet distribution programme in Uttara aiming to promote the BNP's 31-point reform outline.

Mob violence is being used to create an unstable situation in the country, said Mintoo, adding, "Those involved in mob violence must be quickly identified, brought under the law, and punished. The BNP does not believe in mob culture."
