Govt to cancel red passports

The government has decided to cancel all diplomatic (red) passports, including those allocated for former ministers and members of parliament (MP).
It has already started the process of taking necessary steps in this regard, Md Mashiur Rahman, senior secretary of the security service division of the home ministry, told The Shuttle Times today.
A discussion was held at the ministry in this regard recently, and an order will be issued within the shortest time.
"We have already directed the Department of Immigration and Passports (DIP) in this regard. The DIP already started the process and hopefully, the order will be issued soon," said the secretary.
