BNP hopes to see end to killings, unnatural deaths in New Year

BNP senior leader Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain has expressed the hope that the incidents of killing, enforced disappearances and unnatural death will be stopped with 'restoration' of democracy in the Bangla New Year, reports UNB.

"Last year was the year of losing democracy when people couldn't express their opinions and exercise the right to franchise. It's also a year of repression by the fascist regime as thousands of people were sent to jail in false cases and many people subjected to killings and enforced disappearances," he said.

The BNP leader made the comments while speaking at a cultural programme arranged by Jatiyatabadi Samajik Sangskritik Sangstha (Jasas) in front of BNP's Nayapaltan central office in the city, marking the Pahela Baishakh, the BNP leader further said.
