Information and Broadcasting Adviser Mahfuz Alam today said the government has taken a zero tolerance policy against social instability or any form of anarchy.
“Whoever commits crime or mob justice, irrespective of religion, caste or gender, will be brought under the law,” he said while speaking at a media briefing on law and order at the law ministry conference room here this afternoon.
Among others, Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Adviser Dr Asif Nazrul and Home Adviser Lt. Gen. (Retd) Jahangir Alam Chowdhury were present during the briefing.
Mahfuz said that from now onwards, the government will play a strict role in case of any anarchy or mob violence.
He, however, said the government will hold meetings with media personnel soon to discuss how the media will create awareness among the common people on law and order.
“If need, we will discuss with the Ministry of Cultural to determine the process of campaigning law and order issues. We can carry out several types of campaigns including awareness video to make people more aware,” he said.
