BNP recommends dissolution of RAB

The BNP has recommended the dissolution of the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) to the interim government's Police Reform Commission. 

BNP standing committee member and head of the party’s police reform committee, Major (Retd) Hafizuddin Ahmed, said this during a press conference at the BNP Chairperson's office in Gulshan, Dhaka on Tuesday. 

He said: “Although the government's police reform committee did not request recommendations from the BNP, we have provided them. Reforming this crucial state service is now the demand of the time.”

Major Hafiz also mentioned that the BNP has suggested forming a police commission to keep the force in check as part of their set of recommendations.

“We have spoken to retired police officers from various levels, journalists, and many others. Our recommendations include measures to bridge the gap between the police and the public,” he added.
