Inspector General of Police (IGP) Chowdhury Abdullah Al Mamun on Saturday said any attempt to deteriorate the law and order situation in the country would be dealt with iron hand.
The IGP was speaking at the discussion meeting marking the 48th martyrdom anniversary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at Rajarbagh Police Auditorium in the capital in the afternoon.
Dhaka Metropolitan Police organised the event.
“We are noticing that once again the anti-liberation forces are trying to destroy the law and order situation in the country. If anyone tries to do so, then police will discharge their duties in the same way as they did in the past," the IGP added.
He said the police will do their best to perform their duties with the capacity and strength they have.
Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud was present as the chief guest at the event.
Among others, Additional IG Kamrul Islam, Special Branch Chief Monirul Islam and Joint Commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police Biplob Kumar Sarker, spoke on the occasion.
