Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khanan Kamal has urged the lawmakers of border areas to keep an eye on drug trafficking.

He called on a meeting of the BGB headquarters at Peelkhana in Dhaka on Sunday.

33 MPs from different border districts were present in the meeting.

Among them, Abdur Rahman Badi was also a member of the Cox's Bazar-4 constituency (Teknaf-Ukhia), which also came out in the report of the governmental organization for alleged drug abuse.

But Awami League MP Badi has always denied allegations of involvement in drug trafficking.

After the meeting, the Home Minister said, "Now, we have learned that drugs are going through different ways of Teknaf. Drugs can not enter through the way, the parliamentarians gave the advice. "

"Drug trafficking from different parts of India and Myanmar through various routes has entered into this country. That is why we asked their members to the border parliament members. We have accepted their suggestions.

"I have asked them (MP) to take care of the way and who are involved in it."

A journalist then told the Home Minister, "In many areas, I do not want to name the name, there is a complaint against the MPs directly that they patronize the drug and are involved in the drug. Whether there has been any discussion on this matter "

Asaduzzaman Kamal said in the north, "We have always been telling you, nobody is above the law. Whether he is a policeman or a RAB member, may be an honorable person, according to the law, all the arrangements are in place. You (journalist) know all. Nobody is being discounted. "

"We always say that many people can do a lot of misunderstanding and many without line .... These numbers are not too much. They do it one-by-one, its proper trial and immediate action are taken, "he added.

Criminalization of police and BGB and other forces including drug trafficking is also blamed. Such allegations have come from MPs.

In this regard, the Home Minister said, "They (MP) did not use the extreme word. They said that the BGB, the Coast Guard, the police and the RAB should have a crossover. We will take the arrangement of crossover. "

The minister is not fully accepting compliance with the work of the forces.

"There are coordinates. We are making note of the places that are not there and the arrangements for the crossover.

The law has been amended to stop some 'gaps and blows' of the drug control law, he said, also said Asaduzzaman Kamal.

He said the support of MPs has been sought to stop the smuggling on the border.

On the killing of BSF in India, the Home Minister said that since 2008, the border killings have been continuously decreasing. In that year (2008) 68 people were killed on the border, this year (2017) dropped to 21.

"It is clear that there is a good relationship between the two countries. We think that the number will decrease further. "

State Minister for Foreign Affairs Shahriar Alam, Inspector General of Police AKM Shahidul Haque, Public Security Secretary Mustafa Kamal Uddin, Secretary of Defense Farid Uddin Ahmed Chowdhury, BGB chief, Director General of Coast Guard and Director General of RAB were present in the meeting.
