UNB, Dhaka :
Jatiyatabadi Swechchhasebak Dal on Friday alleged that a government quarter is carrying out a propaganda using some media outlets against its president Habib-un-Nabi Khan Sohel implicating him in the recent murder of a foreigner.
In a statement, the BNP’s voluntary wing said, “Habib-un-Nabi Khan Sohel doesn’t believe in the politics of killing. A government quarter has been using some media outlets as its shield to tarnish his image by carrying out a spiteful campaign against him in a planned way.”
It said, some media houses have been running
 ‘false and fabricated’ news implicating Sohel in the killing of Japanese national Hoshi Kunio.
Dismissing the reports, the statement said, “The government is denting the country’s image through its bid to hide the real offenders by implicating Sohel in the killing.”
It urged the media not to run ‘fabricated’ news against Sohel. Japanese national Hoshi Kunio, 65, was gunned down by miscreants in Kaunia upazila of Rangpur on October 3, four days after Italian national Cesare Tavella, 50, was killed in the capital.
The BNP’ voluntary body observed that it is an old tactics of the country’s law enforcers to implicate anyone in any incident by taking deposition from someone through persecuting him.
“We urge the government not to do politics with murder incidents and demand immediate exemplary punishment of the perpetrators after identifying them,” it further said.
