The Free Political Movement in a statement on Friday demanded the reform of the Police Act, 1861.
The statement said that the first thing an independent country should do was to change all the laws and regulations of the colonial period, adding, 鈥楿nfortunately, this did not happen in the country.鈥�
As a result, even though we are independent, we are internally subservient, the statement stressed.
Referring the example of the role of the police during the recent students鈥� movement for quota reform, the statement said, 鈥楤eing opponent of the people, the police indiscriminately killed the students while following the order of the system.鈥�
As a result, the image of the police has been damaged, the statement mentioned.
As many are making various proposals to revive the image of the police, the Free Political Movement demanded to revive the force by enacting a new law based on the 14-points proposed by the late politician thinker and writer Serajul Alam Khan, who spearheaded the country鈥檚 liberation movement founding the 鈥楽wadhin Bangla Biplabi Parishad鈥�.
