Is US unhappy over curbing terrorism by RAB, PM asks
National Desk //
In once again denouncing the US sanctions on Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Thursday questioned the motive behind Washington’s move.
The prime minister lauded the role of the elite force in curbing terrorism in the country.
“We’ve curbed terrorism with them in this country. What does the imposition of sanction on them mean? (Is it) to support the terrorists?” My question is whether the USA is dissatisfied for curbing terrorism,” she said, reports UNB.
The premier said in replying to a question at a press conference arranged at her official residence Ganabhaban on the outcome of her recent official visit to the UK and the USA.
Sheikh Hasina said the RAB was formed at the recommendation of the USA. The USA provides them (its personnel) with everything including training, arms, helicopter, and even digital system and ICT system.
“When the USA imposes sanctions, raises any word or allegation, I would like to say one word that they (RAB) have conducted their activities as per the training they received,” she said.
“Had your training been good one to some extent, it would have been right. What do we have to do here?” said the PM.
