Their words

“I would have been happier if the BNP had stayed in the race – then there would be no questions.” 

Annisul Huq seems, at first, a little taciturn as we sit down to talk on Saturday. He smiles and talks about the city poll elections in Dhaka. 

“Pintu was killed. Why was court order not followed? We know everything is operated as per direction of Hasina. None will be spared. Pintu was taken outside upon her order. Hasina is responsible for this killing.”

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has alleged that Nasiruddin Ahmed Pintu was killed as per Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina’s directions.
