Border killing condemned
Different rights organisations and political parties yesterday expressed concern over the killing of four Bangladeshis and torturing few others by Indian Border Security Force (BSF) in the last couple of days.
The BSF killed two Bangladeshis in the border areas of Thakurgaon on Tuesday; and two other citizens in Chapainawabganj on Wednesday. It also picked up three Bangladeshis from the bordering areas of Joypurhat and Lalmonirhat, said a press release of Ain o Salish Kendra (ASK).
Despite repeated assurances and promises by the Indian government, incidents of killing and torturing of Bangladeshi citizens are still going on, it said.
Repeated border killing put the weakness of the country's foreign policy at the forefront, the press release said.
Meanwhile, Gonotantrik Bam Morcha, Jatiya Mukti Council and National People's Party criticised the home minister for his remarks on the killing.
