Ananta murder govt\\\'s failure: Zafar Iqbal

SYLHET, May 13 (UNB):  Condemning the killing of blogger Ananta Bijoy, noted writer and teacher of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology Prof Dr Muhammed Zafar Iqbal said on Wednesday it is the failure of the government that it could not take action against the killers of bloggers.

"I don't believe that the administration can't hunt down the killers…it's government's failure," he said while addressing a human chain programme on the university campus.

Some former students of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology under the banner of 'Shahjalal University Press Club' formed the human chain in front of its Central Library building protesting the murder and demanding exemplary punishment of the killers.

"You must admit that you are not getting anything from the government. If you or we are killed the government will not do anything," he said.

Criticising the statement of Prime Minister's son Sajib Wajed Joy over bloggers murder, he said his statement is a green signal to Islamists."
