UNB, Rangpur :
Director General of Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) Maj Gen Aziz Ahmed on Sunday said it will not be the violation of human rights if BGB members fire shots in self-defence and for protecting the lives and property of people.
The BGB chief made the remarks while talking to reporters after inaugurating some new buildings of
BGB, including the headquarters of Rangpur BGB North-West region, here in the morning.
He said, if miscreants come across BGB members or BGB members come under their attack the troops cannot sit idle and they can open fire in self-defence.
“BGB members have not been deployed to kill general people by firing gunshots…they’re out there to quell the country’s overall situation,” he said.
He said, the BGB members had played an important role in containing violence in 2013. “They’ll get back to its earlier role, if needed,” said Gen Aziz.
