BNP comes up with 10-point advice to avert killings, abductions

A day after its chairperson issued a countrywide ‘organisational red alert’, BNP Friday gave the 19-party leaders and activists a 10-point advice like not moving alone and going to any unsafe and desolate place to avoid any untoward incident of secret killing and abduction.
BNP acting secretary general Fakhrul Islam Alamgir came up with the advice at a press conference at the BNP chief’s Gulshan office, according to a news agency.
“Apart from politicians, people from all walks of life are being killed, abducted and made disappeared regularly. All are now scared. No one is safe anywhere. Bangladesh now has become a death valley and a land of uncertainty and fear,” he said.
When people are worried and appalled over their security, Fakhrul alleged, the government is mocking with them claiming that the law and order situation is normal in the country.
He said the very responsible persons of the government are making reckless remarks involving BNP in connection with the current spate of secret killing, abduction. “I call upon them not to resort to such cruel mockery and political ploy over the security of the country’s people and their lives.”
Fakhrul’s 10-point advice include conducting awareness campaign through leaflets, posters and discussions to alert people about abduction, killing and forced disappearance, and to put up a mass resistance against such crimes, reaming alert during movement, keeping mutual contact with party men and central leaders, keeping the phone numbers of journalists and law enforcers, gathering together  after hearing any news of abduction, capturing fake law enforcer, looking after each other’s safety and people’s safety and standing besides the victims.
The 10-point advice is basically an outline to implement Khaleda Zia’s organisational red alert programme.
