In order to effectively implement the program, the Municipal Police Department and Fatherland Front Committee of Ho Chi Minh City drew up working plans and directed their sub-units to disseminate information and mobilize local people to seriously follow and support the policies of the Party and laws of the State; raise the people’s vigilance against the “peaceful evolution” strategy and sabotage activities of hostile forces
