Retrial of BDR carnage if BNP returns to power: Fakhrul

BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has said that if BNP returns to power, they will take steps for the retrial of the 2009-Pilkhana BDR carnage.

The BNP leader came up with the remarks on Tuesday while taking to reporters after placing wreaths at the monument set up at Banani Graveyard in memory of army official killed in the Pilkhana carnage, marking the 11th anniversary of the barbaric incident.

“The full report on the investigation carried out by the Army into the incident was not published. We also think the trial was not fair,” he said.

Kalyan Party Chairman Maj Gen (retd) Syed Muhammad Ibrahim, BNP vice chairmen Maj (retd) Hafizuddin Ahmed and Air Vice Marshal (retd) Altaf Hossain Chowdhury, Maj Gen (retd) Ruhul Alam Chowdhury, retired army officers Fazle Elahi Akbar, Mizanur Rahman, M Shahjahan and Sarwar Hossain were, among others, present.
