BNP in a press statement condemned the murder of writer Avijit and demanded a fair probe into the incident.
“The killing of blogger Abhijit Roy in a secure place such as Bangla Academy and TSC proves that the government has failed to ensure the people’s security, said BNP Joint Secretary General Salahuddin Ahmed. “We strongly condemn and protest the Abhijit killing and demand a fair probe and trial.”
Urging the government to return state power to the people, Salauddin Ahmed alleged the government had failed to project BNP’s movement as a criminal and militant activity.
