The government has placed top priority on ensuring the security of political leaders ahead of Bangladesh’s upcoming 13th national parliamentary election, according to Chief Adviser’s Press Secretary Shafiqul Alam. Speaking at a press briefing at the Foreign Service Academy in Dhaka on Tuesday, he said that security agencies have coordinated with political parties, and gunmen have been assigned to many leaders as needed. The police, particularly the Special Branch, are actively handling the matter, and local authorities will review additional security requests.
Alam added that the government is aware of individuals attempting to spread confusion about the election and asserted that preparations are proceeding well with 37 days remaining. He noted that the confidence of police, army, BGB, and other security forces has increased following the successful management of three major national events. The press secretary also discussed efforts to engage religious leaders in promoting participation in an upcoming referendum through mosques, temples, and churches, supported by the Ministry of Religious Affairs’ nationwide network.
Separately, officials addressed a journalist’s killing in Jashore, stating that initial police findings indicate no link to religion or journalism, but rather to local extremist political rivalries.
