The Office of the Chief Adviser has strongly condemned a remark made by Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner SM Sazzat Ali regarding the avoidance of the term "rape."
In a statement on Sunday, the Chief Adviser's Press Wing said: “Rape is rape—whether committed against an eight-year-old or an 80-year-old. Such a heinous crime must be called by its rightful name.”
