Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Asaduzzaman Mia on Sunday said terrorism, militancy and drugs are the main barriers to establishing good governance in the country.
“Now it is our prime challenge to root out terrorism, militancy and drug smuggling for establishing good governance,” he said while talking to leaders of Crime Reporters’ Association of Bangladesh (CRAB) at his office.
Claiming that the country is now on the highway of development, Mia said,
“We will have to take all development activities forward.”
The DMP Chief said the working pattern of the crime reporters and the police is similar as both sides want to serve the people’s interest.
The congenial relationship between the two will remain uninterrupted, the DMP Commissioner hoped.
CRAB President Abul Khair, General Secretary Dipu Sarwar and other leaders of the association were present at the view exchange meeting.
Asaduzzaman Mia said that the relation between the police and journalists at the moment is excellent. “There are international standard journalists in the country, but sometimes, they cannot do objective journalism in some contexts,” he said.
“We will have to find out way coming out of the situation,” he said. Recalling some unpleasant incidents that took place between police and journalists, he said the police force will have to win people’s hearts with the mentality of serving their interest.
“I engage in counselling with the police members on regular basis to change their mentality,” he added.
