Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) Legal and Media Wing Director Commander Khandaker Al Moin on Tuesday said RAB is not concerned about the US visa restrictions.
The RAB official made the statement while briefing the media at RAB's media centre in Karwan Bazar in the capital on Tuesday.
He said, “We are working to create a society free of militants and terrorism”.
He further said visa restriction was imposed in December 2021 against 7 senior RAB officers. So, this issue is not new. We are not concerned about it.
He also said since the establishment of RAB, we have been working to create a society free from terrorism. We are performing our duties. They are acting on their discretion.
The elite force gets into action if anything sensational happens.
“Even a militant organisation like Jamatul Ansar Al Hindal Sharqiya has been uprooted by RAB. We are doing our job," he added.
On May 24 this year, the United States (US) unveiled a visa policy with the primary aim of safeguarding fair and free elections in Bangladesh.
Later on September 22, the United States reaffirmed its commitment by announcing its intent to implement visa restrictions on individuals deemed responsible for obstructing the democratic electoral process.
