Chief Whip of National Parliament Nurul Islam Moni has said juvenile gangs will be eradicated from Bangladesh within the next three months.
He made these remarks on Friday while speaking as chief guest at a shadow parliament debate competition titled “Social movement is more effective than political will in preventing juvenile gangs,” held at Bangladesh Film Development Corporation (FDC) in Tejgaon.
Nurul Islam Moni said, “Teenagers will go to school, study, learn artificial intelligence, and become skilled human resources; they will not roam around with weapons and machetes.”
Saying that today’s teenagers and youth are the helmsmen of tomorrow, he stressed that family, society, and state must work together to prevent juvenile gangs.
He commented that coordination between political will and social movement is necessary in this regard. He added that special measures should be taken for controlled use of social media.
Referring to the recent resignation of Ferdousy Ahmed Misty from the reserved women’s seat in National Parliament, the chief whip said, “Through this, the government is giving a strict and tough message to everyone. We want to work with transparency and accountability. We have started from home. We want to remain united and truly work for the welfare of the people as per the prime minister’s directive.”
Commenting that attempts to shift the blame for any negative incident onto the government will not be accepted in future, he said, “We have come with the people’s mandate and are working for the welfare of the people.”
Mentioning that the government inherited a fragile country, he urged all to allow a reasonable timeframe to receive the benefits of the government’s work.
The chief whip said, “If the government is not strong, the state mechanism collapses. If the government fails, that responsibility is ours. We do not engage in the politics of blame-shifting.”
He also commented that an evil quarter is attempting to embarrass the government by creating artificial crises in various ways. The chief whip called upon everyone to work unitedly to save the country from the hands of these evil forces.
