Chief Adviser Dr Muhammad Yunus on Wednesday asked the Special Security Force (SSF) to work with professionalism, staying above political ideologies.
"...in providing security to state-declared VIPs, the issues of characteristic strength, improved discipline, honesty, responsibility and human values must be seriously considered along with professional skills, and you should work with professionalism above all political ideologies," he told SSF personnel at a function.
The event was arranged at the Chief Adviser's Office (CAO) on the occasion of the SSF's 39th founding anniversary. SSF Director General Major General Mahbubus Samad Chowdhury spoke, among others.
Home Adviser Lieutenant General (Retd) Md Jahangir Alam Chowdhury, the chiefs of the three forces, the inspector general of police and senior government officials were present.
Yunus said that for the sake of security, the SSF has to impose various restrictions, which often cause public inconvenience.
He instructed the SSF to reduce public suffering as much as possible.
Mentioning that in the past, all flight operations at Shahjalal International Airport used to be closed for about one hour for VIP flights, which created many complications, the chief adviser said he has lifted this restriction.
"I hope this will ease the suffering of the general passengers. I think the SSF will successfully perform all the responsibilities entrusted to them, not being isolated from people, but by interconnecting public relations and security," he said.
