Responding to a question, Bangladesh Finance Minister Saifur Rahman said "There is no such organization in Bangladesh. We have never heard of this organization Harkut-ul-Zihad before. If any fresh materials come, we do not give any credence to it".

"Our security people are competent to deal with this and so I think there is nothing to worry about", said Rahman who is here to attend the World Economic Summit.
