Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal has said that militants will be rehabilitated if they return to normal life.
The home minister said this at a programme held at RAB headquarters at Kurmitola in the city on Thursday. “Militancy has not only been suppressed, but also we have given an opportunity to return to normal life,” the minister said.
