Attitude towards RAB

Almost everyday the newspapers were carrying headlines of some killings and other unlawful activities like they are doing now. Taking this weakness of the government, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), at the time of election declared that, if it was voted it would present a crime-free society by eradicating all criminal activities. People trusted on BNP's this election manifesto and irrespective of political affinity voted for BNP. Many die-hard Awami Leaguers also voted for BNP allegedly. In fact, people's expectation from the government is very low. People only expect to live in a peaceful environment where the law and order will be very good to protect them from unlawful activities and they will be able to move freely, carry out their business safely.

But BNP was also not able to ensure this at the initial stage. This became possible only after deployment of the elite force like RAB. RAB curbed the criminals within a short period of time and earned the confidence of the people. Now the law and order situation has significantly improved.
