Condemning the ongoing violence unleashed across the country, Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) Mizanur Rahman yesterday said no dialogue can be held with terrorists who have been burning people to death.
“They (opposition parties) have been challenging the monopoly of power of the state through carrying out terrorist acts in the name of a movement. They have been challenging the foundation of the state which is tantamount to sedition and a criminal offence,” said the NHRC boss in a seminar at Dhaka Reporters Unity.
Federation of Bangladesh Human Right Organisation (FBHRO) organised the seminar.
“The state will have to play its due role in getting rid of this terrorism. The government is responsible for ensuring safety and security of its citizens,” Mizanur said.
Urging the government to ensure the basic rights of the citizens, he said it is the responsibility of the government to ensure that the common people do not face harassment in its attempt to ensure safety for people.
