Home Affairs Adviser Lieutenant General (Retd) Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury has said that there are no security concerns ahead of the first anniversary of the Awami League government`s fall during the mass uprising on August 5.

He made these remarks while talking to reporters at the ministry on Wednesday.

Responding to a question about potential fears surrounding the August 5 anniversary, the adviser reassured, "There are no security issues to anticipate. Everything will proceed smoothly, God willing."

When asked about the ongoing 11-day campaign by the Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP), he clarified, "This is a DMP initiative. For detailed information, you should reach out to the DMP directly."

On the purpose of the campaign, Jahangir explained, "Various campaigns are conducted at different times based on specific needs. The DMP deemed this one necessary."

Addressing concerns about the increasing visa rejection rates for Bangladeshis and reports of on-arrival visa cancellations, the adviser clarified, "On-arrival visas are not being cancelled. We continue to provide on-arrival visas to citizens of countries with which we have reciprocal agreements. No visas are issued on arrival for countries without such agreements."

Regarding the recent arrests of Bangladeshis in Malaysia, he said, "A Malaysian delegation visited for a courtesy call. Discussions will take place at the police headquarters. Each country has different agreements, and these matters will be addressed with the police."

Commenting on the recent attacks on Hindu homes in Rangpur over alleged religious insults, the adviser emphasised, "We will ensure that everyone involved in these incidents is brought to justice."
