Govt behind secrete killing: BNP
BNP acting Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir yesterday said implementation of the Padma Bridge project through public private partnership (PPP) is nothing but a “wonderful dream”.
Referring to the prime minister's demand to the World Bank for proving the allegation of corruption in the project, Fakhrul said “It is absolutely meaningless, since the communications minister has already been replaced in the face of World Bank's demand.”
The BNP leader told this to reporters after attending a meeting organised by Jatiyatabadi Sramik Dal on the premises of Balaka, the head office of Biman Bangladesh Airlines, in the capital.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Saturday at a press conference announced that the proposed Padma Bridge would be constructed under PPP.
Fakhrul also attended a press briefing organised by Jatiayatabadi Chhatra Dal at party's central office in Nayapaltan.
“The ruling party is conducting planned murders in the country through numerous extra-judicial killings. The continuous secrete killings are a proof that the government is using its forces to conduct such murders,” he said.
Unidentified bodies are being recovered every day from different areas near the capital, the BNP leader told the press briefing.
“The government forces pick up people and kill them without trial. We believe the government has a direct link with these killings,” he alleged.
