Minister for Local Government, Rural Development and Co-operatives Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has asserted that “mob justice” will be brought under control and underscored the necessity of improving the country’s law and order situation.

Addressing the challenges ahead, the minister said today (18 April) that the primary objective is “to build the nation,” while speaking to journalists on his first working day at the Secretariat following the formation of the new government.

Fakhrul noted that Prime Minister Tarique Rahman’s leading message to the country was, “I have a plan,” and the cabinet has been formed specifically to execute that vision.

According to the LGRD minister, the cabinet’s mandate is to solve the problems of the people and drive Bangladesh forward.

When questioned about the widespread incidents of mob justice witnessed over the past year and a half, the minister stated firmly, “Absolutely. This will be controlled. We must strive to improve the law and order situation, regardless of how much it had deteriorated.”
