The advisory council on Tuesday discussed the recent incidents of mob attacks and harassments, especially a mob attack at Mohammadpur in the capital Dhaka.
At a press briefing at the Foreign Service Academy in the capital Dhaka after the advisory council meeting, environment, forest, and climate change adviser Syeda Rizwana Hasan said that the council discussed the incidents of 鈥榤ob justice鈥� and 鈥榤oral policing鈥�.
She said that incidents of 鈥榤ob justice鈥� and 鈥榤oral policing鈥� would significantly decrease once the law and聽 order was fully restored in the country.
Rizwana, also water resources adviser, reiterated the government鈥檚 strong position against 鈥榤ob justice鈥� and violence against women and urged for increasing public awareness to combat such incidents.
She said that while such incidents had recently been reported in some areas due mainly to the ongoing law and order challenges, the government鈥檚 stance remained firm against 鈥榤ob justice鈥� and 鈥榤oral policing鈥�.
Referring to a recent incident at Mohammadpur, she said that both parties involved had settled their issues in front of police, calling it a 鈥榝inal decision.鈥�
On March 1, two women fell victims of a mob attack over smoking cigarettes at Lalmatia in Mohammadpur area in Dhaka that triggered street protests against mob violence and harassment.
In response to a question regarding the demand for resignation of home adviser, Rizwana said that the home adviser would remain in his position.
