Law enforcers ready for election, says Home Adviser

Home Adviser Jahangir Alam Chowdhury has said law enforcement agencies are fully prepared to assist the Election Commission (EC) in holding the next general election.

The adviser said this after a meeting of the core committee on law and order held at the ministry’s conference room of the Secretariat on Sunday (June 15).

Replying to a question regarding police activities, he said, "If you think being active means police should beat up people all the time -- like what we saw happening over the past 15 years, that's not the police force we want. We want a human-, people-friendly police force. Police are more active now than before."

The home adviser also claimed that the law and order situation during this year's Eid was satisfactory.
