Prime Minister’s Information and Broadcasting Affairs Adviser Dr. Zahed Ur Rahman announced that a separate law is being prepared for the Rapid Action Battalion (RAB), and its name may also be changed. He made the statement on Tuesday during a press briefing at the Department of Information marking three months of the current government’s tenure. Information and Broadcasting Minister Zahir Uddin Swapan was also present at the event.
Rahman explained that RAB had so far operated under the Armed Police Battalion, but the new law will define its structure and functions more clearly. He noted that while the opposition BNP had called for RAB’s dissolution, the force will continue under a new legal identity. He added that the Home Minister had mentioned the possibility of a name change while working on the legislation.
Rahman emphasized that an elite force is necessary for the state, highlighting RAB’s success in combating terrorism and crime. He said that with better equipment and training, the restructured force will move away from its previous controversial image.
