DHAKA, 22 January 2022, (TON): Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen said that it is the United States that trained Rab on their rules of engagement how to behave with people and how to interrogate.

"They've been trained by the USA. The US has taught them the rules of engagement, how to behave with people and how to interrogate," he told reporters in Sunamganj after attending a number of programmes, recalling the role of the USA and the UK in training the Rab.

Momen said “Rab is very efficient in its work and they are very effective.”

He further said "they're very efficient and they're not corrupt. That's why they've been able to gain the trust of people."

The foreign minister said “the government will definitely encourage Rab to go and take training afresh if they (Rab) have any weaknesses in the rules of engagement and if there are any human rights violations in these rules of engagement.”

But the sections that have been imposed on individuals suddenly are not very justified, said the foreign minister, adding that the US got one-sided information.
