Speaker Abdul Hamid told bdnews24.com that sufficient security measures were in place around the parliament compound.
"Despite all these security measures, if somehow it blows up, then so be it," Hamid told bdnews24.com on Wednesday.
Parliament secretariat security officials said someone named Mohsin had sent a letter to the parliament secretariat threatening complete destruction of the parliament building.
