POBNEWS24, Dhaka, Aug 16, 2021: Detectives are wary of those who have left the country at the behest of the Taliban, an armed insurgent group in Afghanistan that has seized power by force.
As soon as they enter Bangladesh, they will be arrested and brought under the law.
Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner Mohammad Shafiqul Islam said this in response to a question from a journalist at his office on Monday (August 18).
The DMP commissioner said that the information about how many people from Bangladesh have gone to Afghanistan or how many are staying there is available from the intelligence of our country.
Officially, we have not been told from Afghanistan that so many Bangladeshis have fled their country or been detained and imprisoned.
Those who work in the country are aware of this. If the returnees from Afghanistan try to enter Bangladesh, they will be arrested and brought under the law.
Expressing concern, the DMP commissioner said that the Taliban would declare itself the most powerful state in the world as soon as they take state power.
The Taliban will also say that they have liberated Afghanistan by defeating America in the war. In this context, enthusiasm will be created among the youth (who want to do jihad). This wave will affect all countries including our subcontinent.
“The situation that is being created should be reviewed very carefully at all levels of the country,” he said, adding that we need to be prepared accordingly.
We are ready but everyone has to work together to deal with the wave that will start. Not only the police alone, but every parent and college-university should cooperate.
He said if someone’s child or student suddenly leaves the house without telling anyone, the police should be informed immediately.
