ছবি: Legal Advisor Asif Nazrul
On Thursday, November 14, Asif Nazrul, a legal advisor, urged for a zero-tolerance approach toward extremism at an event held at the Judicial Administration Training Institute. The event was organized in memory of two district court judges, Jagannath Pare and Sohel Ahmed, who were victims of extremist violence.
Asif Nazrul highlighted the destructive nature of extremism, stating, “Extremism, regardless of religion, is a grave threat. We cannot allow extremism or radicalism to take hold in any form or under any pretext.” He emphasized that extremism strips individuals of their humanity and rationality, leading to inhumane and ruthless actions, and noted that nothing else could drive people to such heartless and reckless behavior.
He continued by urging that any form of extremism must be rejected. “Often, incidents in our country are amplified in international circles, creating a distorted image,” he said, stressing the need to prevent such exploitation in the future.
Nazrul further stated, “If we care about the well-being of our country, our people, our society, our friends, and our children, and if we want to protect Bangladesh from international conspiracies, fascism, or any other threats, then we must protect our nation from extremism and radicalism at any cost.”
He called on everyone to remain vigilant so that neither domestic nor foreign powers can use extremism as a tool to hinder Bangladesh’s potential and progress.
