Home Affairs Advisor Lt. Gen. (Retd.) Md. Jahangir Alam Chowdhury said the government is taking a very strict stance on the ‘mob’ violence. No one will be allowed to stay in the area by doing wrong. Action is being taken against them. No matter how powerful the culprit is, he will be found and brought to justice.
The Home Affairs Advisor made these remarks to reporters after visiting the Industrial Police Headquarters and Uttara Purba Police Station in the capital on Sunday afternoon. He said that although the number of mobs has decreased significantly from before, such incidents have occurred again in some areas recently. The government is taking a very strict stance on this issue. Seven people have already been arrested in an incident in Rangpur. Anyone who commits wrongdoing will no longer be able to stay in the area. He will be found and legal action will be taken against him. If anyone is involved with the mob in the future, he will also be brought under the law.
Stating that earlier, when mobs or similar crimes occurred, he did not receive much news, the Advisor said that now, thanks to the media and information technology, all information is available quickly.
Responding to journalists’ questions regarding the national election, the Home Affairs Advisor said that creating an environment for elections is not only the job of law enforcement agencies. The Election Commission, administration, responsible officials and political parties participating in the election also have to be prepared in this regard.
Jahangir Alam Chowdhury also said that there is no shortage of preparation in the government. They are working to organize fair elections and are making all preparations to control the law and order situation. He said that the government will provide all kinds of cooperation to ensure fair and impartial elections with the participation of all parties.
Regarding the Industrial Police, the Home Advisor said that there is a shortage of manpower in this important unit of the police. Even so, the Industrial Police is working hard to resolve various problems. Since the number of industries and factories in the country is increasing day by day, it is necessary to increase the manpower and capacity of this force. The government is working on the issue. In addition, efforts are being made to identify and resolve the problems of Uttara Purba Police Station.
At the time, officials at various levels of the police, including the Chief of the Industrial Police and Additional IGP Gazi Jasim Uddin, were present.
