No country thinks that foreigners are at risk or unsafe in Bangladesh, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal has said.
Referring to a US travel advisory warning the US last week issued on Thursday, he said, "We saw in the past that issuing alerts has become their (foreign countries) policy."
"They issue alerts often. We don’t have any idea why they do so… If they’ve any information regarding the threats against their citizens in Bangladesh, they should provide us with related intelligence.”
Kamal came up with the remark after inaugurating the “Transnational Crime: SAARC Perspective” course at the Police Staff College in Dhaka's Mirpur, UNB reports.
Besides, the minister said, a total 614 members of several outlawed parties of Pabna will surrender to the police.
“If they promise they’ll return to normal life, all the necessary legal supports will be provided to them,” he said.
Inspector General of Police Dr Mohammad Javed Patwary and Mostafa Kamal Uddin, Secretary to Public Security division of the Home Ministry attended the programme as the chief guests.
