Atrocities carried out by BSF
We are outraged and vehemently protest the killings of Bangladeshi citizens by Border Security Force (BSF) of India. According to Ain O Shalish Kendra, 39 Bangladeshis were killed by BSF in 2011, while Odhikar puts the number at 3.
A few days back, BSF men brutally tortured a Bangladeshi citizen in Murshidabad of Pashchimbanga which was shown in a video footage.
It can not go on like this; it is unfathomable why our government is unable to stop these killings.
Seemingly, it has become a favourite pastime for BSF, an opportunity to practice their marksmanship on innocent Bangladeshis. It is the most detestable act and our government must take urgent steps to stop border killings.
We can easily imagine how India would have reacted if a Indian national had been killed by BGB. Our government must shake off this meek attitude and act promptly to stop killing of our people at the borders by BSF. We should be firm in upholding our rights.
