Law enforcement forces only take action against political programmes if they create a public nuisance and cause violence, said Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal yesterday.

"Any political party can hold programmes. But law and order forces take action if those create a public and cause violence," the minister said while speaking to reporters at the Secretariat on Thursday.

"Action is taken against government officials only if there is a lack of competence and patriotism," he added.

Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal further said, "Those who lack skills and lack patriotism are sent to retirement. It is a regular process."

In reply to a question at a dialogue organised by Bangladesh Secretariat Reporters Forum (BSRF) at the secretariat, the home minister said police officers are being sent on retirement for their lack of skills and patriotism, reports UNB.

After removing Information and Broadcasting Secretary Mokbul Hossain, the government has recently sent five police officers to retirement.

The minister said that after 25 years of service many officials lose their momentum in terms of skills and patriotism, and authorities then take steps.

"This is a routine procedure," he said.

The minister, however, said that the trend of lacking skills is not alarming.

"There is no point in occupying a post if someone lacks skills," he said.

On October 31, Md Alamgir Alam, Additional DIG of Police (crime investigation department), and Md Mahbub Hakim, Additional DIG of Tourist Police, were sent on compulsory retirement according to section 45 of Public Service Act, 2018.

On October 18, three other police officers of the rank of Superintendent of Police (SP) were sent on compulsory retirement.
