Govt pledges action against mob culture: Info minister

The government has pledged to clamp down on 'mob culture' and restore the rule of law in the country, reports bdnews24.com.
Information Minister Zahir Uddin Swapon outlined the government's commitment at a media briefing on the Tarique Rahman administration's first month in office on Wednesday.
The comment came in response to a question about a mob forming around a detained former lawmaker at a court the previous day.
Referring to earlier statements by the government, particularly from the home minister, Zahir said the administration's position on mob violence was already clear.
"However, we all should remember that although we have taken the responsibility to establish the rule of law, we have to fulfil that responsibility against a long background of lawlessness."
He added that the government hoped to move past the legacy of prolonged wrongdoing and disorder.
"Our government is firmly committed to curbing mob culture and establishing the rule of law."
