The BNP on Saturday has made the government responsible for recent bloodshed in Chittagong Hill Tracts.
“Naniarchar Upazila Chairman Shaktiman Chakma and five others’ murder in Rangamati and Union Parishad Chairman Sirajul Haq’s brutal death in Narsingdi are the hideous examples of this government’s misrule and failure to protect lives of people,” said BNP Senior Joint-Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi in a news briefing at the party’s Nayapaltan central office.
He said, “The government is responsible for the recent bloodshed in Rangamati and Narsingdi. The killing is taking place across the country in view of the spreading of the illegal arms and rearing of the criminals.”
The BNP leader criticised the incumbent Election Commission for not taking any action in response to the BNP’s complaints about absence of level playing field in Gazipur and Khulna.
He said, the incumbent Police Commissioner of Khulna and Police super of Gazipur are key obstacles to fair polls in the two cities.
He reiterated the party’s demand to withdraw them from Khulna and Gazipur in the interest of the fair polls.
BNP Vice-Chairmen Altaf Hossain Chowdhury, Dr. AZM Zahid Hossain, Chairperson’s Adviser Dr. Mamun Ahmed, Publication Affairs Secretary Habibul Islam Habib, Assistant Office Secretary Munir Hossain and Assistant Publicity Secretary Asadul Karim Shahin, among others, were present.
