Some policemen have turned into monsters: Dr Kamal Hossain

Gonoforum President Dr Kamal Hossain today alleged that the law and order situation in the country has completely "collapsed", as some police personnel have turned into monsters for being "used in unethical activities" like extrajudicial killings.

Speaking at a meeting of the party's convening committee, he said the government is encouraging corruption over the coronavirus issue.

Referring to the killing of Major (retd) Sinha Md Rashed Khan at Teknaf, Dr Kamal said, "It has exposed that some members of the police have become monsters due to politicisation and being used in immoral acts, including extrajudicial killings and vote robbery."

He said people are now living in a state of helplessness.

Dr Kamal also alleged that the government is not taking proper action against those indulging in corruption.

Voicing concern over the plight of flood-affected people, Dr Kamal alleged that government has so far not taken any effective step to prevent the floods and riverbank erosion.

Dr Kamal stressed the need for national unity to protect the rights of people and to solve all the problems of the country.

Gonoforum general secretary Dr Reza Kibria, party MP Mokabbir Khan, convening committee members AOM Shafiqullah, Muhammad Mohsen Rashid and Mostak Ahmed, among others, spoke at the programme.
