Politicising the police

Corruption is widespread in the police department. In the most recent case, smugglers were unloading the largest ever arms cache on the Karnaphuli coast in Chittagong with the direct help from local police! However, our government is always blaming the opposition for every kind of crime. The people gave their verdict in favour of the ruling alliance for eradication of crime and corruption and to let them live in peace. So, I think it is the prime responsibility of the government to arrest the criminals and bring them to justice, irrespective of party affiliations, for the greater benefit of the nation without blaming the opposition. Police always investigate police crimes; as a result the truth remains in darkness. An independent ombudsman is a must.

Where are we heading for ? More than thirty years have passed since we became independent; however, we are still fighting for our minimum basic needs.

I urge the government to stop politicisation of the police department and take stern punitive actions against police officials who are involved in criminal activities. Please let people live in peace.
