PM urges Ansar-VDP to perform duties with discipline

GAZIPUR, May 20 (BSS): Prime Minister Tarique Rahman on Wednesday called upon the members of Bangladesh Ansar and Village Defence Party (VDP) to perform their duties with utmost discipline and strictly following the chain of command.

"In any country, adherence to the 'chain of command' and 'discipline' is an essential and mandatory principle for every disciplined force. If there is even the slightest negligence in these two areas, no force can truly become disciplined one," he said.

In this connection, the  premier said, "Any lack of discipline within any force creates a crisis of public trust about that force...So, you must remember this deeply".

Tarique Rahman, also the Chairman of ruling BNP, made the remarks while addressing the 46th National Rally of the Bangladesh Ansar and Village Defence Party (VDP) at the Ansar-VDP Academy at Safipur of Kaliakair upazila in the district.

He expressed the hope that through dedication, discipline, professionalism and patriotism, the Ansar-VDP would emerge as a technology-driven and humanitarian social force in future.
