Eliminating terrorism top priority

Elimination of the roots of militancy in Bangladesh should be the country's top priority, said National Human Rights Commission Chairman Mizanur Rahman. “The rise of militancy is the only thing threatening human rights in Bangladesh,” he said at a discussion on Saturday. “Its elimination should be Bangladesh’s top priority.” The discussion on the threat of terror in Bangladesh was arranged by the Centre for Peace and Development and attended by prominent personalities from various fields. Referring to the numerous extrajudicial killings and abductions, Mizanur Rahman said these alone will not be effective in preventing militancy from striking deep roots, according to bdnews24.com.
