The BNP on Saturday demanded white paper on the BDR mutiny in which 57 Army officers were killed on February 25 and 26 in 2009 at Pilkhana, Dhaka.
“We demand white paper on the mutiny. The nation wants to know who were behind the killing of 57 dexterous and patriotic officers,” said BNP Standing Committee Member Lieutenant General (rtd) Mahbubur Rahman after placing wreaths at the grave of those officers in the Banani graveyard.He assured the journalists of publishing white paper on the issue if they return to power.
BNP Vice-Chairman Major General (rtd) Ruhul Alam Chowdhury, Major (rtd) Hanif and other leaders of the party also present.
Meanwhile, BNP Standing Committee Member Barrister Moudud Ahmed said that the main culprit behind that tragic killing at the Pilkhana has not been brought to justice. If they are tried, then the souls of those Martyrs will live in peace.
He said it at a discussion meeting in Dhaka Reporters’ Unity.
BNP Senior Joint-Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi said that the ‘so-called’ mutiny was a conspiracy of the government.
“It was a conspiracy of the government. They wanted to oppress the BNP on the issue. BNP leader Nasir Uddin Pintu’s arrest made it clear to all,” Rizvi said.
