Secret killings and disappearances

Mysterious disappearances and secret killings have created panic in the country. Fifty-one people vanished last year, according to a report published in The Daily Star. No clues have been found as to why these people vanished, although fingers are pointed at the law enforcers. But prime minister has hinted at BNP's involvement in these killings which is a sign of bad politics. It is the duty of the law enforcing agencies to find out the killers and the real reasons behind these killings. Otherwise it will be much more dangerous in the future. We hope that our law enforcers will be able to perform their duty properly. We also hope that our top-level leaders would make responsible statement on the matter.
