Ganatantra Mancha, an alliance of several opposition parties, has said the government has turned the entire Bangladesh into a death valley by killing several hundred students and people to suppress their protests, reports UNB.

Speaking at a protest rally on Wednesday, Zonayed Saki, chief coordinator of Ganosanghati Andolon, also said the government is trying to shift the blame for the recent violence on the opposition parties to stop the students' quota movement.

"The entire country has now turned into a death valley. Several hundred students have been killed... The government is unable to cover up so many dead bodies and the lines of bodies. We're observing that they (govt) are using various political tactics to hide the casualties," he said.

Saki noted that the government is claiming Jamaat and Shibir should be banned for their involvement in violence, but 80 to 90 per cent of the arrested students have no political affiliation.
