After how many more attacks on cars will it be understood that the law and order situation in the country has deteriorated?
In the context of a cocktail explosion on a university vehicle and successive sabotage attacks on cars across the country, Dr. Shafiqul Islam Masud, Member of Parliament for Patuakhali-2 (Baufal) constituency, raised a question in the National Parliament, strongly criticizing the statement of the Ministry of Home Affairs. He asked, after how many more bomb attacks or attacks on how many cars will we understand that the law and order situation in Bangladesh has deteriorated?

He said these things while making a supplementary question to the Home Minister during the question-and-answer session held under the Speaker's presidency at the National Parliament session on Wednesday. Speaking in Parliament, Dr. Masud said that in the context of the Leader of the Opposition's statement, yesterday the Ministry of Home Affairs had said—merely a cocktail explosion on a university vehicle cannot be said to indicate deterioration of the law and order situation. Yet according to various media outlets and the actual situation, not just one or two but hundreds of cars are being attacked and vandalized. Against such a reality, he raised a question about after how much more harm to people or how many more bomb explosions the government will acknowledge that the situation has deteriorated.

Alongside this, this Jamaat-affiliated MP expressed deep concern over the unstable situation in the Chittagong Hill Tracts and the activities of armed groups in border areas. He alleged that, at the instigation and with the backing of a neighboring state, armed groups are attacking the patriotic army and law enforcement forces, in which many have been killed and injured. Yet questions remain about how much of the visible and strong immediate action that law enforcement agencies should have taken has actually been taken. He further mentioned that media and local sources indicate that the hill armed groups possess more sophisticated weapons than those held by army and security personnel deployed in the hill region.

Noting that a deep conspiracy is underway to take the entire hill region out of control as part of efforts to destroy the tourism industry in the hill region including Sajek, Dr. Masud said that in the interest of protecting the country's sovereignty and security, it is necessary for the role being played by the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Home Minister in this regard to be made clear before the nation.
