Now BNP has demanded forming an investigation committee, headed by a former chief justice (CJ), to unearth the mystery of the sensational Narayanganj abductions and killings.
“The party will propose such a three-member committee,” said Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, acting secretary general of the party, after laying wreaths at the party founder Ziaur Rahman’s grave yesterday.
Two other members should be a former cabinet secretary and a human rights activist, said party’s Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi later at a press briefing at the party’s Nayapaltan headquarters.
Fakhrul also criticised the government for inviting families of the victims of Narayanganj killings to the Prime Minister’s office on May 14, when BNP chief Khaleda Zia is to visit them in Dhaka city’s outskirts district.
The government has been using the RAB in killing and abduction, said Fakhrul, adding: “Questions have been raised among people whether there is any necessity to RAB.”
“Now it has become clear who were involved in the Narayanganj killing. Yet the government is trying to cover up it,” he said.
Narayanganj city panel mayor Nazrul Islam, senior lawyer Chandan Sarkar and five others were found murdered two days after being abducted from the city’s Link Road on April 27.
Khaleda Zia is scheduled to visit Narayanganj on May 14 to express her condolence to the bereaved family members of seven people who were abducted and murdered. The BNP will hold a rally in Demra on May 17 to protest the abductions and killings of seven people in Narayanganj.
The party also announced a series of street agitation programmes to protest the abductions and killings.
Rizvi also said the party would stage demonstrations across the country’s upazilas on May 18 and district headquarters on May 19 and in the divisional headquarters on May 20 protesting the shifting of Khaleda’s graft case from the court building to Alia Madrasa ground.
