Road Transport and Railways State Minister Habibur Rashid has said no one involved in crime will be spared, even if they belong to his own political party.

He made the remarks as the chief guest at a meeting of the Gazipur District Law and Order Committee at the Bhawal Conference Room of the Deputy Commissioner’s Office on Sunday.

Identifying drugs as a major cause of crime, Habibur said around 95 per cent of crimes in society were committed in connection with drugs.
