Law to take its own course on Aziz, Benazir issues: Salman

Prime Minister's Private Industry and Investment Adviser Salman F Rahman today said that the government will not protect anyone, and the law will take its own course on former Army Chief Aziz Ahmed and former IGP Benazir Ahmed issues. "Our party's general secretary Obaidul Quader stated that actions will be taken according to the law if anyone violates the rules. I don't think the government will feel any embarrassment here. As he (Quader) said, no matter how influential the person is, the government will not provide protection to anyone," he said. He made these remarks while speaking to reporters after a meeting at the Ministry of Home Affairs in the capital. Earlier, Salman presided over the third meeting of the National Committee formed to prevent accidents and ensure safe working conditions in mills, factories, industries, and commercial establishments. Regarding the murder of MP Anwarul Azim Anar in India, he said, "We are all shocked over the matter. You know that the matter is under investigation and I think it will be right to make any comment until the investigation ends." Home Minister Asaduzzman Khan Kamal, Local Government Development and Co-operatives Minister Md Tajul Islam, Industries Minister Nurul Majid Mahmud Humayun, State Minister for Commerce Ahsaul Islam Titu, Dhaka North City Corporation Mayor Md Atiqul Islam and senior officials concerned were present in the meeting.
