Gain confidence of people

PM asks police as top officials meet her

UNB, Dhaka
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday asked the police to gain the trust and confidence of people as this is very important for them.
She was speaking at a meeting with senior officials of the police at the International Conference Centre of her office, marking the Police Week 2018.
■ Police have to gain people's confidence and trust so that they can think that police will help them; police are with them and they're the resort of trust for people. You must build that trust," she said.
The PM said the present police force is the force of independent Bangladesh and it is their topmost priority to gain people's trust and confidence.
Terming drug abuse another social menace like militancy, Hasina asked
the police to be harsher on it to root out the menace from society. "You've to be tougher as you had been while dealing with militancy... you'll have to conduct drives against drug abuse to save the country."
She said, "You'll have to find out from where it [drug] comes, who use it, who're involved in it and who're doing this illegal business."
The PM asked them to widen intelligence activities in the country and share information among various agencies. "This is not possible to do everything alone, if the work is done in a coordinated manner through information sharing, then the success rate will be higher with little casualties. “
Hasina said she had already given directives that one intelligence agency would share information with others to take planned measures. “If anyone gets any information, you share it quickly so that we can take appropriate actions."
She recalled the late-night coordination meeting at the Gono Bhaban during the Holey Artisan attack in Dhaka and the successful results of that.
The premier said a committee had been formed with one of her advisers as the chief, and the home minister as one of its members to hold meetings with intelligence agencies which
would determine what to do for getting such information.
Appreciating the Bangladesh Police for their success in containing terrorism, militancy and ensuring public security, Hasina said they could be compared with police organisations of any developed country in the world.
She said the government would provide more facilities for the police so that they could deliver on their responsibilities like the police of the developed nations.
About cybercrimes, she said sometimes technology also created problems and the government wanted to develop Bangladesh Police as more efficient and equipped with modern technology to handle such crimes.
Putting emphasis on ensuring peace and stability in the country, Hasina said economic activities get accelerated with peace and stability which in turn strengthens the national economy.
About political violence of the BNP-led alliance from
2013 to 2015, she said in her 50-year political career, she never saw such scenes of people being burnt in the name of political activities.
Hasina alleged that the BNP-Jamaat ally which carried out arson attack, vandalism and violence in the name of movement was now carrying out pro-paganda against Bangladesh.
Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan and Inspector General of Police AKM Shahidul Hoque, among others, also spoke at the meeting.
