Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan on Saturday urged all quarters not to be misled by rumours. They should rather stay alert against any move to spread propaganda.
“Especially the law enforcers, should stay alert about rumours so that any misinformation cannot spread through social media like Facebook. We saw such kinds of things in Bhola, Ramu and even Nasirnagar,” he said, speaking at a function as the chief guest at Rajarbagh Police Auditorium on the occasion of Community Policing Day-2019.
Calling on the Community Police to stop rumours, the Home Minister said police have to face many challenges everyday. But their first task is to ensure that false information cannot spread.
“We have made the country free from terrorism and militancy. We can get rid of drugs also.” Asaduzzaman said.
None involved with drugs will be spared, he said, adding that legal action will be taken in this regard.
He said that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has given the country a new height of development to materialise the dream of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. As the government has introduced the community policing system to ensure better security for the people, both the police and the common people should work together to this end, he added.
With Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Md Shafiqul Islam in the chair, the programme was attended by Additional Inspector General of Police Md Mainur Rahman Chowdhury as the special guest.
Additional Commissioner of DMP and Chief of Counter Terrorism and Transnational Crime (CTTC) Md Monirul Islam and Additional Commissioner of DMP Krishnapada Roy were also present on the occasion.
