Claiming that it is the ruling party, not BNP, is involved in the growing incidents of abduction, secret killing and forced disappearance, BNP chairperson Khaleda Zia Sunday urged all to rally round under her party's umbrella to wage a strong street movement to stop the heinous acts, reports UNB.
"Now it's clear that ruling party men are involved in the abductions and killings. I call upon all the citizens, including professionals, civil society members and political parties to take to the streets with BNP to restore democracy, save the country and stop killings, forced disappearances and abductions," she told a mass-hunger strike programme on the National Press Club premises.
Khaleda also warned the government that they will be compelled to take harsher programmes if it does not quit and stop the widespread extrajudicial killings and abductions even after their peaceful programmes like rallies, human chains and hunger strikes.
The former prime minister alleged that the entire country, including Narayanganj, has now become a death valley as the government has no control over the ruling party 'cadres' and law enforcers.
Referring to the killings of seven people after their abduction in Narayanganj, Khaleda said, "Where is Nur Hossain, he is a criminal, people want to see him in jail. Why had there been a raid on his home seven days after the abduction of so many people."
AL involved in killings, abductions, says Khaleda
