BNP worried over snatching of militants

BNP standing committee member Rafiqul Islam Miah on Sunday voiced concern over the snatching of three convicted militants from a prison van in Mymensingh and demanded their recapture in 12 hours. Addressing a discussion, the BNP leader claimed that the Mymensingh incident and the escaping of four accused in the Jubair Ahmed murder case from a courtroom on the same day are indication of the sharp deterioration in law and order situation. Narrating the two incidents, Rafiqul said, “This is a grave threat to the rule of law and the country’s sovereignty.” Mahmudur Rahman Mukti Sangram Parishad arranged the discussion at the Jatiya Press Club, according to a news agency.
