Passports at wrong hands
Alarmingly enough, Myanmar nationals are obtaining Bangladeshi passports by concealing their real identity as well as address and going abroad. These people are endangering our labour market abroad and besmirching our national image indulging themselves in illegal activities over there. Proper investigation should be done to track down the culprits responsible for giving Bangladeshi passports to wrong hands. To the best of my knowledge passport authorities across the country issue passports on getting positive police report conducted by SB branch of police and No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the authorities concerned in case of government employees. May be bribe tampers the process of police investigation or NOC issuance. But by no way passport authorities can issue passports without such apposite investigation report or authentication reports. Anything contrary to the rules, if ever happens, should be meted with due punishment.
