BDnews24: “Religious preaching will not work; appeasing big brothers will not work. The most effective way is the extermination of drug suspects — the loss of life in real sense,” Rahman said at an event in the port city on Tuesday, about four months after the law-enforcement agencies started a drug purge leading to the deaths of about 250 people in so-called shootouts across the country.
His comments received a round of applause from his colleagues in the audience at the Muslim Institute Hall. Rahman spoke as the chief guest at the event.
The law enforcement agencies have swung into action as part of the nationwide anti-drug crackdown ordered by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Rahman said. “What I make sense of it as the main issue here is that no advice will work.”
“The loss of life is for the sake of peace. We must crack down on disorder. If they [drug suspects] attack us with weapons, we have every right to use our weapons on them. That’s the way forward,” Rahman said.
