Staff Reporter :
BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has alleged that killing of opposition leaders and workers in the name of ‘so called’ gunfight now become a game for law enforcers.
“Savar Municipality Unit Juba Dal Organising Secretary Shah Alam Nayan was subjected to such a victim of brutal game. We don’t have any suitable word to condemn such a cruel murder,” he said in a statement on Sunday.
The statement was issued to protest the killing of Shah Alam Nayan in a ‘gunfight’ on Saturday night.
He demanded a neutral investigation into Nayan murder and put the killers on trial immediately.
The BNP leader said Bangladesh is being labelled as a den of terrorism due to the government’s misdeeds and failures and repressive acts.
He alleged that the government on one hand is repressing the opposition leaders and activists by resorting to killings, enforced disappearances and false cases, and sending BNP senior leaders to jail on the other.
BNP Vice-Chairman Shamsuzzaman Dudu at a function yesterday alleged that the government is repressing BNP leaders and activists as there is no rule of law and accountability in the country.
He said this while addressing a press briefing at the party’s Nayapaltan central office in the city.
“The current regime which usurped state power by force has continued killing and oppression by its party cadres and law enforcers to eliminate the opposition and perpetuate its power,” Dudu said.
He urged Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to hold a free and fair national poll by holding discussion with opposition political parties.
