Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmad has stated that law enforcement agencies will now be able to take any step in self-defense during operations.

He made this statement on Wednesday afternoon (November 11) during the fourth session of the National Parliament.

The Home Minister said that, from now on, law enforcement forces can take any action under the scope of the "Right of Private Defense" during operations.

He stated that Sheikh Hasina is threatening the July freedom fighters from across the border, warning that she will harm and intimidate them upon returning to the country. However, he added, Allah will not grant Sheikh Hasina that opportunity.

Salahuddin Ahmad remarked that just as Hitler's Nazi forces could not return to Germany, the fascist Awami forces that fled following the mass uprising will never be able to return to Bangladesh.

He further mentioned that, as part of the trials for crimes against humanity, the Tribunal's team will begin field investigations across various districts starting now.

Additionally, the Home Minister informed Parliament that the armed forces' special operation, 'Operation Uttarankh,' is ongoing to maintain law and order and suppress terrorist activities in the Chittagong Hill Tracts.

He said that terrorist activities are being prevented by enhancing intelligence operations and regular patrols by the Bangladesh Army, Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB), police, and SRB.

A strict policy has been adopted against illegal arms holders, extortionists, and terrorists in the hills.

Accused individuals are being brought to justice by filing regular cases under existing laws based on specific criminal allegations.
