Prime Minister Tarique Rahman on Monday urged police personnel to rise above differences of opinion and work together in the national interest.
He made the call during a meeting with senior police officials on the third floor of the Prime Minister’s Office in Tejgaon, said PM’s Press Secretary Saleh Shibly.
“This country belongs to all of us. We must work together to protect it. We may not all share the same ideology, but while working with the government, your personal beliefs or ideology should not be reflected in your official duties,” Shibly quoted the Prime Minister as saying.
The Prime Minister also said differences of opinion should be reflected only through the ballot box.
“Before that, we must all love this country and remain united in the interest of the nation,” he added.
Earlier in the morning, Prime Minister Tarique Rahman addressed police officials at a programme marking Police Week-2026 at Shapla Hall of the Prime Minister’s Office in Tejgaon.
During his speech, he gave various directives regarding law and order and asked police to treat criminals as criminals, regardless of their political identity.
He also stressed that there would be no compromise with corruption, terrorism and misrule, and urged police officers to work in a people-oriented manner.
Later, the Prime Minister took part in a photo session with police officials in front of the Tiger Gate of the PMO.
