Abrar Hussain: Amid criticism from the government’s ‘war on drugs’ that recently killed 45 people in parts of Bangladesh, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan has announced that all drug traffickers listed by law-enforcement agencies are being brought ‘under the law.’
“Everyone involved in drug trafficking will be brought under the law according to a list provided by intelligence agencies. Whoever is involved in drug trafficking will be punished,” Khan said yesterday in the capital.
According to Dhaka Metropolitan Police Commissioner Asaduzzaman Miah, intelligence agencies have prepared a list of ‘drug lords’ in the capital to conduct the drive.
To explain the horror of narcotics, the home minister referred to drug addict Oishee Rahman who killed her parents Mahfuzur Rahman and Swapna Rahman.
