He said ,“A country has announced its visa policy. It's its own affair.”

“I have not found any such concern among my colleagues after joining the DMP. As an organisation, Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) is always working for the people of Dhaka, for a safe city. We don't care about it,” he added.

When asked about the personal crime of the policemen, he said if there is a complaint against any member of police, stern action will be taken against him.
“If any political party's members gather without prior permission, we shall take strict action without any hesitation,” he vowed.
"Law and order situation is our main concern, we wouldn't allow anything harmful to public security and safety centring the national polls," he continued.
"Election is a democratic process," he added.
