Dismissal proves Rab involvement

BNP says about N'ganj 7-murder

STAFF CORRESPONDENT
The BNP yesterday said the dismissal of three Rab officials from service has proved that the elite force members and the administration were involved in the abduction and killing of seven people, including Narayanganj panel mayor Nazrul Islam.
"Apart from the Rab members, we have come to know that the son of a minister is also involved in this incident," BNP acting secretary general Mirza Eakhrul Islam Alamgir said at a press conference at the party's Nayapaltan central office
He alleged that the Sheikh Hasina-led government was using Rab, police and even BGB members for killings, abductions and forced disappearances of opposition men to stay in power illegally.
The BNP spokesperson said people could not any more keep faith in the law enforcement agencies involved in killing people brutally instead of protecting them.
"People across the country have raised the question of whether such kinds of law enforcement agencies are required. We support this sentiment," the BNP leader added.
Pointing to the gruesome killings in Narayanganj, Eakhrul said the government should step down as it had failed to protect people's lives.
About the Rab probe committee on the Narayanganj incident, he said people had no confidence in the committee as Rab members themselves were involved in the killings.
Eakhrul said the BNP would soon come up with a series of programmes to free people from the fear of killings, abductions and forced disappearances.
Earlier, at a joint meeting of the BNP and its front organisations at Nayapaltan office, the party finalised a 14-day programme starting from May 27, including discussions and milad and doa mahfil, to mark the 33rd death anniversary of late president and BNP founder Ziaur Rahman.
NO BNPRALLYIN N'GANJ
BNP insiders said party Ghairperson Khaleda Zia is likely to visit Narayanganj on May 14 to express solidarity with the people of Narayanganj and to console the family members of the dead.
Taimur Alam Khandaker, president of Narayanganj district unit BNP, yesterday submitted an application to Narayanganj Gity Corporation (NCC), seeking its permission to hold a rally at Nitaiganj ground.
The NCC, however, said it would not give permission to the BNP to hold the rally.
"Considering the law and order in the city, we can't give permission to any major party for holding a rally here. Also, there is a hospital next to the rally ground. So the BNP can't organise the rally at Nitaiganj ground," N CC Mayor Selina Hayat Ivy told
