The grim picture of the law and order situation in Bangladesh should be a matter of concern for every citizen in the country. Recently it has been reported that the international organized criminal gangs has established their bases in Bangladesh with the help of the local hardened criminals. In a politically corrupted climate containing criminals is a difficult task. But if the government is determined to root out corruption and criminality the situation can improve and citizens can feel secure. The lofty aim to establish rule of law can't be achieved if the administration does not realize the fact that they are duty bound morally and politically to its people to ensure a life based and safety and security. They have the burden of peoples trust to protect the good and destroy the evil. The history of Bangladesh's law and order situation is not a rosy one. In every administration some politicians pampered and protected the criminals for political and criminals reasons. They cried foul about the law order situation in the country against every incumbent administration whenever they were not in power. This has become a vicious circle and hypocritical too.
The situation has reached such a stage that God and good both are crying foul. The Prime Minister being an experienced politician can't enjoy her thumping majority in the parliament without showing her prowess to reign on her naughty politicians. The criminals are not stronger than the arms of law. The need is to apply law in its fullest extent to defeat them. She must show her sincerity that she cares for her people who have given her the mandate to rule.
She must act now not later.
