Home Adviser Lieutenant General Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury (Retd.) today called for action against crimes without considering political party affiliations. 

Speaking to journalists in Cox’s Bazar after a meeting with officials from the Home and Agriculture Ministries, he said that the administration’s actions are for the country’s welfare, not to favor any political party.

“We’re not working for the benevolence of any party. Whatever needs to be done is being done for the welfare of the country,” he said. 

He also clarified that no department has been instructed to show favoritism to any party. 

“If leaders and activists of any party are involved in encroachment or any other crime, strict action will be taken based on evidence,” he added.

Jahangir also ordered the immediate withdrawal of Chakaria Police Station Officer-in-Charge (OC) Manjur Quader Bhuiyan within 24 hours, following a complaint from a journalist. 

He expressed concern over rising kidnapping and drug trafficking in the areas, which have been frequently reported in the media.
