BSF killings condemned

Staff Correspondent
Ganatantrik Baam Morcha yesterday strongly condemned and protested killing of Bangladeshis in the border areas by Indian Border Security Force (BSF) including the latest murder of Felani in Kurigram. Alliance leaders including Saiful Haque, Khalequzzaman, Tipu Biswas, Zonaed Saki and Babul Biswas said BSF is nurturing a one-sided war situation in border areas by killing Bangladeshis one after another, putting the nation in a sense of insecurity. Such killings are signs of Indian aggression towards Bangladesh, they said, adding that no independent and sovereign state can tolerate such killings for long, says a press release. Alliance leaders urged government to take necessary measures for an end to the killings.
