Sanctions on RAB ‘very condemnable act’: PM

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today called the sanction against some Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) personnel “a very condemnable act”, saying the elite force has a great contribution to contain militancy and terrorism in the country.

“They (USA) protect the criminals and shelter them in their country and give sanction in our country without any crime. And this is their character, so what else I can say about them,” she said.

The prime minister said this while addressing a function as the chief guest marking the 18th founding anniversary of RAB, joining virtually from her official Ganabhaban residence here.

The elite force organised the function at the Lt Col Azad Memorial Hall at its headquarters in city on Monday (March 28) morning._BSS
