BNP protests BGB man\\\'s killing

Voicing deep concern over the killing of a Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) man by Myanmar’s Border Guard Police (BGP) along Bandarban border, BNP alleged that the government has put the country’s sovereignty at stake. In a statement, BNP’s acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir termed the killing of BGB Nayek Mizanur Rahman by BGP tantamount to violation of Bangladesh’s sovereignty. He strongly condemned and protested the killing of the BGB man. ‘The entire nation has become worried and upset following the incident. Our sovereignty has been made weak and put at stake due to the government’s diplomatic failure,’ the BNP spokesman said. He further said the borders have remained unprotected because of the current ‘illegal’ government’s indifference to protecting the country’s sovereignty. Mirza Alamgir expressed profound shock over the killing of Mizanur Rahman. He prayed for salvation of the departed soul and conveyed deep sympathy to the bereaved family members, according to a news agency.
