Home Minister Denounces Motivated Extortion Allegations Against BNP, Assures Unbiased Legal Action
Home Minister Salhuddin Ahmed briefs the media on law enforcement coordination, administrative inquiries, and national security measures at the Secretariat.

Home Minister Salhuddin Ahmed strongly condemned statements targeting the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) with deliberate extortion allegations, stating on Wednesday (September 30, 2026) that the public will ultimately judge political motives behind such remarks.

Speaking during a press conference at the Home Ministry conference room in the Secretariat, Minister Ahmed emphasized that law enforcement evaluates criminals strictly by their actions rather than political identity. Addressing recent high-profile incidents, he confirmed that a police officer was immediately withdrawn and subjected to departmental proceedings for negligence regarding the Radda Clinic incident, adding that any MP involvement will face rigorous investigation. Regarding land-grabbing allegations in Matikata under Cantonment Police Station, he noted that police responded immediately to emergency calls, arrested suspects, and collected evidence. On the Mirpur-10 hawker eviction clashes, the Minister identified a preliminary coordination gap between municipal magistrates and police forces. He urged against evaluating the nation's overall security landscape based on isolated events, reiterating the ministry's unwavering focus on public safety.
