Hasina asked the Police officials to perform their duty blindly without seeing which party the culprits belong to. "Your work is to ensure the security of the people and keep loyal to the constitution. Even take actions against my party's people." She also asked the Police officials to introduce themselves to modern technologies as the criminals are using high-tech instruments for committing their crimes. The Prime Minister said that her Government would do whatever possible for the development of the Police Force in the country, as this is the largest law-enforcement force in the country. "We need the rule of law, but you have to confirm that doing that there will be no violation of human rights." she said adding "there will be no militancy and terrorism-there will be only peace prevailing in the country".

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on January 5 said that she would not invite trouble for the country by allowing militants and terrorists to use Bangladesh for carrying out terrorism in another country, reported Daily Star. "They [militants and terrorists] will use the land of Bangladesh to conduct their terrorism in another country and we will create enmity by harbouring them -- this cannot be," she said, while addressing top Police officials at her office in observance of the Police Week. "I know there are risks. I also have life threat but for the sake of the country and its sovereignty, I will not allow that," she said. Hasina said that for the sake of independence and sovereignty, she is taking the risk to protect the country from being used as "the base of another country's militants and terrorists". Hasina also states that her Government will not allow militants to establish their supremacy in the country. "The previous Government failed to figure out the devastating outcome of encouraging such dangerous elements. They did not cast their eyes far into the future," she added.

Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on January 11 assured New Delhi that Dhaka would not allow its soil to be used as a base for operations by groups inimical to India, her Advisor Abul Kalam Azad said, reports The Hindu.

Islamist parties in Bangladesh face a ban from politics after the Supreme Court ruled religion-based organizations cannot participate in political life, said Law Minister Shafique Ahmed. Bangladesh banned religion-based politics after it gained independence from Pakistan in 1971, but an amendment to the country’s constitution in 1979 allowed Islamic parties to operate again. In a ruling released on July 28, the Supreme Court struck down the 1979 amendment saying it contradicted secularism, one of Bangladesh’s four founding pillars. "The ruling has paved the way for banning the political parties, which use religion as their main ideal and propagate it," Shafique Ahmed said.
