Power of arrest not given to Ansar force: Home Minister

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal has clearly said that no power of arrest has given to the Ansar force.

The home boss came up with the remark while responding to the questions of journalists after an inter-ministerial meeting on this year’s Victory Day at the Secretariat on Wednesday.

The minister said, “It is a propaganda and misinformation about the Ansar and its arrest authority. Ansar forces were never given authority to arrest. All law enforcement agencies including the police force and Ansar force have to work within the ambit of our criminal procedure code. This is the main point.”

He said the upcoming law is at the final stage of scrutinizing, which is now to the parliamentary standing committee and members of the standing committee will scrutinize it.

“If there are any words, sentences incarnate in such questions, then they will be corrected. There is no scope to go beyond the existing law. If any sentence conflict with the law, then it would be cleared,” the home minister said.
He said, “Any force has to work in accordance with the existing laws. Let me make one thing to clear that there is no room for misunderstanding in it. ”
