In response to another question, he said the overall law and order situation is satisfactory.
About preparation of the law-enforcement agencies for holding the national polls, the home adviser said they have the preparations.
"The Election Commission (EC) will announce the election date. The law-enforcement agencies are prepared to hold the election as per the EC-fixed date."
Replying to a question about inactivity of police, Jahangir Alam Chowdhury said a mindset has developed among the people in the last 15 years that if police do not beat or kick people, they are inactive.
"The police are now more active than before," he said, adding that they are working to build a humane police force.
About the push-ins at frontiers by the Indian Border Security Force (BSF), the home adviser said they have held formal talks over the matter with the Indian authorities concerned.
Coming down heavily over push-ins through rivers and jungles, he said, "It could not happen in any civilized country."
The home adviser reiterated his call to India to follow the due process of law in sending back Bangladeshi citizens.
"If the people are Bangladeshis, follow the proper channel to send them back and we will accept them," he added.
