Religious Affairs Adviser A F M Khalid Hossain has said that when the interim government took charge, there was virtually no police presence at stations and even in Dhaka, students were managing traffic. “Law and order cannot be fixed in a single day, but the situation has improved many times over—and so has the economy,” he stated. Speaking at Jamia Darul Arqam Madrasa in Brahmanbaria on Sunday, Khalid emphasized the invaluable role of Islamic scholars in building a “new Bangladesh.” He recalled that during the July Revolution, hundreds of madrasa students were injured and many embraced martyrdom. “In the days ahead, scholars, students, and teachers stand ready to make any sacrifice for our beloved motherland,” he said, adding that preparations are underway for a fair election in February.
