Referring to the ongoing operation 'Devil Hunt' across the country, Home Affairs Adviser Lieutenant General(Rtd) Md. Jahangir Alam Chowdhury said that no devil should escape from the hands of law enforcement forces.
He said these things while speaking as the chief guest at a workshop on 'Implementing the law with emphasis on human rights and environment in the changing situation of the country' organized at the Rajarbagh Police Auditorium in the capital on Tuesday (February 11).
Jahangir Alam Chowdhury said, you are surely aware that one of the main goals of the current interim government is to ensure the safety of people's lives and property. To ensure exemplary punishment by bringing fascism and its allies, miscreants, anarchists and terrorists under the law. Fascism has departed, but their allies are continuing various conspiracies against the government at home and abroad.
He said, they have unjustly looted the wealth of the people of this country and have become the owners of immense illegal wealth. They have called those who have spoken out against their injustice as traitors, have ostracized the leaders and activists of the party's organ organizations, and have unjustly harassed them with lawsuits and attacks. They have taken over and controlled the media. They have punished human rights organizations. They have created a loyal capitalist class and looted wealth. They have established authority over the civil service and security forces. They have curtailed the independence of the courts. Advertisement The advisor said, in a word, the fascist government has unjustly used the entire state apparatus to remain in power. Currently, they are using the illegal wealth they have acquired in the past 16 years to express their position by creating anarchy with the involvement of evil forces. The government is working to bring to justice the terrorists directly involved in the July-August killings, the Special Helmet Force involved in the homicides, the fascists involved in criminal crimes and their accomplices, money launderers, looters, conspirators, miscreants, traitors, and those accused in ACC cases.
He said that the government's police force, Rapid Action Battalion, and members of the armed forces have arrested a significant number of these criminals through legal processes. This process is ongoing. With the aim of bringing to justice the perpetrators of unrest and their accomplices across the country, the 'Operation Devil Hunt' campaign has been launched under the Ministry of Home Affairs in coordination with the forces engaged in maintaining law and order since February 8. The Ministry of Home Affairs will supervise the overall activities related to the operation across the country and the overall activities of 'Operation Devil Hunt' will be coordinated through the 'Joint Operation Center' established at the Police Headquarters under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
He also said that the Metropolitan Police Commissioner in the metropolitan area and the District Magistrate at the district level will coordinate the operation. The learned judges of the CMM Court, MM Court, CJM Court, District and Sessions Judge Court, District Magistrates, Special Court judges, government lawyers in the court, members of the law enforcement agencies, and members of the intelligence agencies are engaged to ensure punishment by bringing these criminals under the law.
In addition, the government has appointed 8 Judicial Magistrates in the Dhaka Metropolitan Area for summary trials against criminals. You are skilled and trained conscious citizens. You have accountability, responsibility and commitment towards the people of your country, the government and your respective responsibilities. You need to play the role of vigilant watchmen in establishing good governance. We do not want to see any criminals on the streets, in the market, in the field, in the square, on the highway. We want to bring every criminal under the law. We want to ensure their trial. I will ask the law enforcement agencies to be more active. Regarding Operation Devil Hunt, I will say that no devil should escape from the hands of the law enforcement agencies. The advisor said, I will tell the lawyers to be present on the scheduled date and time of every case filed in the court. Keep yourself enriched with sufficient information by communicating with the prosecuting agency at all times. Be extremely vigilant so that no terrorist gets bail in any way. If necessary, the IGP team can sit with the public prosecutors every 15 days to review the progress, gaps, documents, and documents and present them in the court. We have seen that the previous fascist government, in order to eliminate political opponents, has kept innocent, innocent ordinary people in jail for years in thousands of cases through court farce trials. Innocent people have been sentenced to rigorous imprisonment. This wrongdoing may be judged one day. But it is not desirable that fascist terrorists, those who shoot people in the chest, helmeted soldiers, miscreants, instigators, those who intimidate the people and the corrupt will be arrested and taken to court, and then, due to the limitations of information or the failure of the agencies, they will be released on bail and get involved in crime again.
