Don't go out alone BNP to 19-party men in safety directive

Staff Correspondent
Amid a spate of abductions across the country, the BNP yesterday issued a 10-point directive to the 19-party alliance leaders and activists asking them not to go out alone and avoid unsafe places.
The alliance men should remain safe, organise mass resistance against abductions, killings and forced disappearances and raise public awareness of such crimes, BNP acting secretary' general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir told a press conference at the party chairperson's Gulshan office. The directives came a day after BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia announced an "organisational red alert" for the alliance men.
The 10-point directive asked the alliance leaders and activists to look after each other's safety and also the security of people. The opposition men were also urged to stand by the family members of abduction and killingvictims.
At the press meet, Fakhrul said nobody in the country is guaranteed a natural death now. He blasted the government for blaming the BNP over the recent killings, abductions and forced disappearances.
KHALEDA ISSUES RED ALERT
Addressing a May Day rally at the capital's Suhrawardy Udyan on Thursday, Khaleda issued an "organisational red alert" to the alliance leaders and activists across the country over the "killing, abduction and forced disappearance."
The former PM said she would take to the streets along with the people to save the country, its people and democracy from the clutches of the "killer government."
She called upon the opposition men to get ready for waging an antigovernment movement when she would make a call at a "proper time."
Khaleda also urged her party men to encircle anybody, be they Rab or police, if they try to pick up any person illegally.
Condemning the abduction and killing of seven people, including a panel mayor of Narayanganj, she said Sheikh Hasina must be held accountable for the murders as the PM has been in charge of the home ministry.
"This government is a bloodthirsty Dracula.... It's an illegal and repressive government. It can't stay in office any more," she added.
Jatiyatabadi Sramik Dal organised the rally.
Party sources said some mid-level central and district leaders of BNP went into hiding after Khaleda announced the organisational red alert for the alliance men.
