Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal fears that the displaced Rohingya people might be the prey to the international terrorist groups if the ongoing refugee crisis is not resolved.
“Tackling the Rohingya situation is a new challenge for us. But if we cannot solve the problem, then the Rohingya people will become an easy prey to the international terrorist groups,” he said this while addressing a meet the press programme at Dhaka Reporters’ Unity in the capital on Tuesday.
“Although the Myanmar government is claiming again and again that they will take back the Rohingyas, we don’t see any sign of
reality,” the minister adding “The government is communicating with all international communities, including the UN, to solve the Rohingya crisis and the issue was one of the main topics of discussion with Indian Home Minister during his recent three-day visit.”
Replying to a query about the Deputy Inspector General of Police Mizanur Rahman, the Minister said that the police official had been suspended with steps for flawless investigation.
“Departmental or judicial action will be taken against him as per the findings of the investigation. You will see it soon,” he said.
When asked about government’s inaction against about 200 police officials for reported link with drug patrons as per the home ministry’s lists, the Minister said, “We are not sparing anyone. Possibly, you are not getting all the messages.”
“The alleged officials are facing departmental actions and suspensions. One or two had been sent to jail by this time,” he added. Asked about why godfathers are not being brought to book, the Minister said the government is taking action against those whose names are common in the five lists prepared by five separate intelligence agencies.
The Minister said also the killing of Teknaf municipality Councillor Akramul Haque is under investigation and action will be taken against responsible persons after completion of probe.
No incidents of enforced disappearance are taking place, the minister affirmed, adding, “We do not patronize any extra-judicial killing.”
When asked about police’s inaction regarding some youths’ repeatedly assaulting teachers and students on the Dhaka University campus, Asad said that police never intervened in the university matters until its administration wanted to.
The Minister, however, said that the students who attached the VC’s residence were being identified and arrested.
About the investigation into journalist couple Sagar-Runi murder case, Kamal expressed his hope that RAB, the investigating agency of the case, will be able to discover the findings anytime.
