State Minister for Fisheries and Livestock Sultan Salauddin Tuku has called for a united social movement to keep youth away from drugs while assuring strict action against any wrongdoing or irregularity to maintain law and order.
State Minister Sultan Salauddin Tuku made the remarks while responding to queries from journalists after attending as the chief guest at the inauguration of the Community Police Kabaddi Championship, organized by Tangail District Police at the Tangail Police Lines ground on Saturday (October 3) morning. Regarding law enforcement operations, the State Minister stated that law enforcement agencies are taking immediate action wherever irregularities are spotted, emphasizing that the government will offer zero tolerance to any wrongdoing. Strict measures will be taken against anyone committing an offense, regardless of their identity. Highlighting ongoing government initiatives to improve law and order and eradicate drugs from society, he noted that regular sports and awareness programs are being organized so that the young generation stays drug-free by engaging in sports and cultural activities alongside their studies.
In his speech as chief guest, Sultan Salauddin Tuku warned that no drugs are produced in Bangladesh; rather, a deep-seated conspiracy is underway to destroy the country’s youth by systematically smuggling drugs in from neighboring countries. Issuing a stern warning to political leaders and activists against drugs, he made it clear that no lobby or lobbying will be tolerated regarding drug-related offenses, urging everyone to speak out against drugs from their respective positions. At the same time, he directed the district police and concerned agencies to maintain maximum vigilance and enforce punitive measures so that no member of the police force becomes involved in drug-related misconduct.
The event praised the overall role of the Community Policing Committee and highlighted the importance of turning it into a collective social movement. Following the sports competition and formal addresses, the State Minister presented special crests of appreciation to high-achieving students of Police Lines Adarsha High School who attained GPA-5 in the SSC examinations.
