Law, Justice, and Parliamentary Affairs Adviser Asif Nazrul on Tuesday said that proper enforcement of the law will help reduce mob violence, reports The Business Standard.
“If we do our job correctly, mob rule will decrease. Everyone must act responsibly,” he said at a workshop on law enforcement, human rights, and environmental concerns held at the Bangladesh Police Auditorium in city’s Rajarbagh.
The adviser highlighted the challenges faced after assuming responsibility, stating, “The fallen fascists are spending billions to destabilise the country.”
He urged caution in granting bail, saying, “No one should be denied bail if they are eligible, but at the same time, bail should not be granted recklessly. We must ensure that no one secures bail only to create unrest in the country.”
Addressing past crimes, Asif Nazrul emphasised the need for accountability stating, “There was anarchy for 15 years. Every murder committed in those 15 years will be prosecuted; otherwise, holding this position is meaningless.”
