UNB, Dhaka :BNP on Friday demanded a UN-led probe into the all incidents of extrajudicial killing, human rights violation and subversive act, including petrol-bomb attacks in Bangladesh.In a statement, BNP joint secretary general Salahuddin Ahmed said, “We want an international-level probe to be carried out under the supervision of the United Nations into all subversive acts, petrol-bomb attacks, all crimes against humanity, including extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, killings, abductions and illegal use of guns by the law enforcers and ruling party cadres.” The BNP leader said they are favouring a fair probe so that legal action can be taken against those carrying out petrol bomb attacks as part of a plot to malign the 20-party’s ongoing democratic movement.He alleged that the Prime Minister, ministers and ruling party leaders are endlessly resorting to lies to brand their democratic movement as sabotage and militancy.Salahuddin lamented that the state minister for foreign affairs abashed the nation by resorting to lies about the meeting with the European Parliamentary delegation. “We strongly condemn and protest it.”The BNP leader warned that the Prime Minister will be held responsible as an order giver for every incident of current mass killing, enforced disappearance, abduction, crippling of opposition leaders and activists by the law enforcers.He called upon the Prime Minister to quit forthwith and announce to hold a fresh election under a non-party administration.
