verification
On Monday (November 18) afternoon, Home Affairs Advisor Lieutenant General (Retd.) Md. He told this to reporters after an exchange of views with Jahangir Alam Chowdhury.
He said, we are coming to an understanding recently. Police verification is required for government, semi-government or bank jobs. This method of police verification has been in place since 1928. It has been running for almost 96 years. Here are some types of questions and inquiries as per British Law Manual. This often leaves out many job seekers.
'Secondly, there is another matter whether any of the relatives are involved in politics and whether there is anyone who is against the state or not. It was thought of in British terms. Recently there has been a complaint that someone's relatives are in politics but not in the government party, many of them have not been given jobs because of these arguments. It is seen that their aunt, uncle or someone else is involved in politics. They lost their jobs, even if none of their family members did. We recommend that this practice be dropped.'
The head of the commission said that everyone's job from a bank guard to a clerk is important. Many times one can enter the job by changing the name and identity. Later it may be found that he is involved in some crime. So verification is essential. In any case, I have recommended that police verification should not suffer. So there will be police verification but there will not be any political consideration of relatives.
Safar Raj Hossain said, we have discussed with all the members of the Police Reform Commission, Home Affairs Advisor. We started working from 6th of October. The commission is scheduled to submit its report on December 31 this year. We're pretty much halfway there. We have done some initial work. It can be called the final form of a draft. Some of our recommendations can be implemented in a short period of time. Besides, there are some issues, which will require a long time to implement. Implementation of some recommendations requires funding. In some cases laws and regulations need to be changed. We recommend these. We only recommend owners.
He said, you know there are two strict laws. According to section 54, the police can arrest without a warrant. Another is in section 167, where the police remand. We are not the owners to decide in these two cases. Even the Ministry of Home Affairs does not own it It is CRPC. Ministry of Law Act. Due to these issues, we have also included a joint secretary from the Ministry of Law in the commission of this organization.
We have checked and seen that for a long time there are cases going on in the High Court and the Supreme Court. On behalf of an organization called Blast. Kamal Hussain filed a writ in this regard. In that writ, the High Court said that everyone concerned should be careful in implementing this law. added the head of the commission.
He also said that many guidelines are given. Later, the government went to the Appellate Division regarding this issue, and there, the Appellate Division said that the instructions of the High Court have already been given in this regard. That is, the police and other agencies of the government have to follow certain rules and regulations in law enforcement. One of them is that if someone is arrested, his family members must be informed about it. It is a judgment of the High Court. As you know High Court judgment is a part of law.
He said about stopping police corruption, corruption is our number one enemy. When corruption in a department decreases, efficiency increases. Increases people's obedience to law. Corruption is the biggest problem of the country. Besides, we discussed the salary structure of the police. There will be more discussion on this tomorrow.

Safar Raj Hossain said that all departments of the government, including the police, should be kept free from politics. We have seen in the past 15 years that many other police departments were affiliated with political parties. Many have committed corruption and tried to get promoted. Recommendations for its closure are in progress.
