Govt issues guidelines over revoking diplomatic “red” passports

A circular issued by the Security Services Division of the Home Affairs Ministry said, “Diplomatic passports received by former prime minister, her advisors, ex-cabinet members and all members of the recently dissolved Jatiya Sangsad (Parliament) and their spouses would be revoked immediately,”
Diplomatic passports of the officials would also be revoked immediately upon termination of their tenure or appointment, it said.
The release said ordinary passports may be issued in their favour based on the reports of at least two investigating agencies.
The government came up with this decision to revoke the diplomatic passports (“red passports”) on Wednesday, reports UNB.
