Independent lawmaker Rumeen Farhana has expressed deep concern and dissatisfaction over what she described as a sharp deterioration in the country’s law and order situation, citing alarming figures on murders, abductions and violence against women during the government’s first 100 days in office, reports UNB.
Speaking on a notice of urgent public importance under Rule 71, Rumeen who elected from Brahmanbaria-2 constituency criticised the absence of Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed from the House while raising the issue.
"The home minister was expected to be present today, but I can see that his seat is empty. Nevertheless, I will proceed in his absence," she said.
Drawing on statistics from a report by Transparency International Bangladesh, Rumeen claimed that the crime rate had risen sharply during the government's first 100 days.
According to the figures she cited, the country recorded 605 murders, 294 robberies, 90 dacoities and 196 abductions in March and April alone. She also said there had been 129 attacks on police personnel and 2,214 incidents of theft during the same period.
