Stay alert about rumours
Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan yesterday urged all not to be misguided by rumours and stay alert against any evil move to spread propaganda.
“All, especially the law enforcers, should stay alert about rumours so that misinformation cannot spread through social media like Facebook. We saw such incidents in Bhola, Ramu and even Nasirnagar,” he said.
The home minister was speaking at a programme at Rajarbagh Police Auditorium in the capital on the occasion of the Community Policing Day.
The home minister attended the event as chief guest.
Calling on the community police to remain active in this regard, Asaduzzaman said police have to face many challenges every day but their first task is to ensure that false information is not being spread.
He also said, “We have freed the country from terrorism and militancy.”
“We can get rid of drugs too,” he said.
No one involved with drugs will be spared, he added.
As the government has introduced the community policing system to ensure better security for all, both police and people should work together to this end, the home minister further said.
Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner Shafiqul Islam chaired the event.
“Police members will have to carry out their work showing honour and respect to people. Otherwise, they will have to quit Dhaka Metropolitan Police,” said the commissioner.
Additional Inspector General of Police Mainur Rahman Chowdhury attended the programme as special guest.
