Give your best
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday asked new officials of police cadre to put in their best efforts to protect the fundamental and human rights of people while discharging their duties.
“It's my firm belief the young police officials will be engaged in ensuring the overall welfare of people and the country's development with their acquired knowledge, discipline, professionalism, honesty and integrity,” she said.
The prime minister was addressing the passing-out parade of the 34th BCS batch of assistant superintendents of police (ASPs) at the Bangladesh Police Academy at Sarda in Rajshahi.
Hasina directed the new ASPs to uphold the glorious role of the members of Bangladesh Police played during the Liberation War and to work following the path of their predecessors with patriotism, professionalism and unbound bravery.
She took salute, inspected the parade and distributed medals among the best probationary ASPs.
A total of 150 ASPs, including 26 female ones, passed the course.
The premier distributed medals among the best police officers of the course.
Hasina said there is no need to raise demands before her government for the development and progress of Bangladesh Police. “In many cases, I take necessary steps on my own initiative. We have a plan to develop the police force so that it can move forward keeping pace with the world.”
Meanwhile, Hasina, at another programme in the district, sought votes for her party symbol “boat” in the next general election.
“I seek your blessings and votes… If you make our candidates victorious, the pace of development will continue. But, if those unleashed terrorism and militancy in the country come to power again, Bangladesh will again turn into a den of terrorists and militants,” she said.
The Awami League chief was addressing a public rally organised by the local unit of AL on the Harian Sugar Mills ground in Paba upazila. Upazila AL President Yeasin Ali presided over the rally.
