UNB, Dhaka :
BNP on Friday alleged that the government has now engaged members of the police in killing and making opposition leaders and activists disappeared as elite force RAB has already lost its image by doing so for a long time.
“Now police has been given the charge for killing and making opposition leaders and activists disappeared as Rab has become controversial by playing the same role. Cops are now
killing innocent people by staging the dramas of gunfight,” said BNP joint secretary general Ruhul Kabir Rizvi.
He brought the allegation at a press briefing at BNP’s Nayapaltan central office following the killing of Satkhira’s Tala upazila unit BNP joint general secretary SM Biplob.
Rizvi claimed that police tried to kill Biplob by opening firing at him in the name of a gunfight after picking him up from his residence on Thursday night. Later, the local ruling party cadres tortured him to ensure his death.
The BNP leader strongly protested and condemned the killing and said the government is responsible for the murder.
“The government has taken a move to annihilate BNP by law enforcers. Police are sincerely carrying out their assignment to obliterate BNP,” Rizvi alleged.
He said, the current illegal government has established a one-party rule with the help of law enforcers after grabbing power through a ‘voter-less’ election on January 5.
“The country’s people have got fed up with the misrule of this illegal, killer and repressive government. They don’t want to see it in office anymore. We’ll ensure the fall of this regime through a strong movement after Eid,” Rizvi added.
He also alleged that the ruling party cadres are collecting huge amount of toll from businessman ahead of the Eid.
