Inspector General of Police (IGP) Md Moinul Islam said on Saturday that Chhatra League is now a banned organisation and it has no right to engage in political activities.

"Chhatra League does not have the right to hold rallies, and if they attempt to do so, strict legal action will be taken against them, similar to other banned organisations," he said.

The IGP made the remarks during the 6th anniversary rally of Rangpur Metropolitan Police, held at the auditorium of Rangpur District Police Lines School and College in the afternoon.

IGP Moinul Islam also said that all individuals involved in any form of unrest during the Anti-Discrimination Student movement will be held accountable under the law.

The IGP also talked about recent allegations against police personnel, confirming that some officers are under investigation.

He assured that anyone found guilty would face legal consequences, emphasising that no one would be above the law.

He also said that the police force could not perform its duties due to the actions of a few misguided leaders. The current government aims to reform the police to better serve the countrymen, the IGP added.

He urged both political leaders and police officers to avoid mixing administration with politics.

"Cops who wish to engage in politics should resign and politicians who seek to manipulate the police must refrain from doing so," he said, highlighting that genuine reform within the police force can only occur under these conditions.

 The IGP also mentioned the huge misuse of illegal weapons over the past 16 years by certain groups, which have been used against students.

He expressed the commitment to recover the weapons and return those to the government.

During the event, he provided financial assistance to the families of those killed or injured during the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement.

The event was presided over by Rangpur Metropolitan Police Commissioner Majid Ali, with senior officers from both district and the Metropolitan Police in attendance.

Earlier, IGP Moinul Islam visited the family of Abu Sayed, a student from Begum Rokeya University, the first martyr of the Anti-Discrimination Student Movement.
