He said the law and order situation in the country is good, the police force is working with patriotism and bravery. "If the political parties of the country do not follow the rules, they will be made responsible."

Every force is working very efficiently. Ansar and VDP is one of them, said the minister adding when police can't be deployed in elections, Ansar members are being deployed.

"Around 2,00,000 Ansars performed their duty bravely when arson attacks were carried out in the country."

Regarding the killings at Bangladesh-India border, the minister said, "Talks have been held with India to stop border killings. They (India) also do not support such killings."

Besides, India has requested the Bangladesh government to take care of the issue of free movement in the border areas, he added. "The government is also keeping an eye on it."

If there is a problem at the border, an immediate flag meeting is being held. The home ministries of the both countries are also working together to solve various problems and crises, the home minister said.
