Menon feeling insecure over disappearances
Rashed Khan Menon, president of Workers' Party of Bangladesh, yesterday said he was feeling insecure as politicians, like him, were disappearing.
“Incidents like disappearances and kidnappings now have a new dimension. Politicians are also disappearing. Therefore, as a politician, I do not feel secure,” he said in the presence of Home Minister Shahara Khatun.
Menon expressed his insecurity at the inauguration programme of Shahjahanpur Police Station at Shahjahanpur Railway Government High School in the capital, reports the daily Prothom Alo.
He said the government's duty is to find the “missing” BNP leader Ilias Ali. Unfortunately, the opposition was creating anarchy instead of helping the government, he added.
Addressing the programme, State Minister for Law Quamrul Islam said it is true that the government can not avoid the responsibility over incidents of disappearances and kidnappings.
But such incidents were part of a plot to undermine the government, he added.
