Anti-state elements spread disinformation about extremism: RAB

DHAKA, September 11, 2024 (BSS) – The elite anti-crime force Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) today issued a statement saying that an anti-government unit is spreading disinformation against the power. According to them, this evil force is trying to worsen the law and order situation across the country.

“Bangladesh is a country of peace and harmony… All people of the country, irrespective of race, religion, caste and party, celebrate all festivals and events peacefully. RAB is committed to identify the criminal gangs involved in extremism and also take strict legal action,” a press release from RAB’s media wing said.

It was said that the Director General (DG) of the RAB has directed all its units (battalions) to take strict legal action without making any concession to the militancy, fanaticism and evil intentions that are destroying the existing communal harmony across the country.

The RAB force continues to maintain strict vigilance to ensure that members of militant groups released on bail are no longer able to engage in militant activities.

“If anyone released on bail gets involved in criminal activities or militant actions and does not return to normal life, the RAB will arrest him and bring him under the law,” the press release said.

“The elite forces will continue to pursue a ‘zero tolerance’ policy in the fight against militants across the country,” the report said.
