Commenting there was a vicious circle of rotten politics in the country Dr Benazir Ahmed said this circle is still alive.

He said, “In our country, there was a kind of bad political practice, and it is still alive. In the process of the bad practice some bad political persons unfairly and irrationally created some people against them.”

“With all together is Bangladesh. Bangladesh is my love. Together we will move forward. To make a welfare state, we will all join hands and fulfill the responsibility from wherever we are,” the IGP said.

He said Bangladesh has reached this stage today after overcoming various obstacles, adding, “Reserve reached $49 billion from only $18 in the country. Per capita income rose to about $3000.”

During the time, the country witnessed various poverty, sickness and deprivation and many kinds of political game were also staged, Dr Benazir said.
