CA urges police to uphold historical responsibility in upcoming elections

Chief Adviser Professor Muhammad Yunus today asked the police officials to perform their 'historic responsibilities' in the upcoming polls as he exchanged views with Superintendents of Police (SPs) from 64 districts and senior police officials at his office here. "Be grateful to Allah that you have been given this historic responsibility," he said, calling upon the police officials to act with professionalism and utmost sincerity in the polls. The chief adviser said this election has created an opportunity to build a code for the society that would guide the nation for the next hundred years.

"When earthquake comes, we talk about building codes which we follow. This election is also the opportunity to create such code for our society. We should create a strong code that no matter how big the shake, it cannot be moved," he said. Explaining that the upcoming elections are not just a traditional five-year election, Prof Yunus said along with the national polls, there will be a referendum.  "The referendum is something bigger-this is like the "building code". The code that we will establish will guide the nation for a hundred years," he said. 

"In our life when we will sit back and evaluate what we have done, this should come first-that we took part in creating this code for the society," he added.  The chief adviser said the recent posting of SPs have been made to avoid biasness, urging them to take it easily for the greater interest of the nation. Home Adviser Lt. Gen. (Retd) Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury and Home Secretary Nasimul Ghani spoke at the event while Special Assistant to the Chief Adviser Md Khuda Baksh Chowdhury was also present.  Inspector General of Police (IGP) Baharul Alam delivered the welcome speech and conducted the meeting.
