Law enforcement, as well as intelligence agencies, have remained vigilant to avoid the acts of sabotage amid the 48-hour nationwide strike enforced by transport workers, says Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal.
Kamal made the remarks while laying the foundation stone of a five-storied building of Naogaon’s Patnitala police station on Sunday (Oct 28).
The home boss also issued a note of warning against the drug peddlers asking them to shun their illegal drug trade, reports BSS.
“You have time to shun all kinds of illegal drug businesses . . . The anti-narcotics drive will continue and no drug peddler will go unpunished,” he said.
Referring to terrorism and militancy, Kamal said people of the country don’t want to see any militant activities.
“Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is relentlessly working to root out militancy from the country. She has now become the ‘World Model’ for curbing terrorism and militancy,” he added.
The home minister said the country attained tremendous development in many sectors and her government specially honoured the women folk in many places and also established dignity of Islamic scholars (Alem-Ulema) through taking pragmatic steps.
Mentioning different development activities of the present government, Asaduzzaman said, “What the Sheikh Hasina’s government did in the last 10 years, no other government could do it after country’s Independence.”
The minister also said that those who siphoned off money to foreign countries during the BNP-Jamaat alliance government must get punishment as “the government has enough evidences of misappropriating money.”
