BNP not supports extra judicial killings

Senior Correspondent: Terming extra judicial killing unacceptable, Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has come down heavily ‘shootout’ spree conducting across the country in name of anti-drug drives.

BNP Standing Committee Member Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain made the observations while speaking at a discussion in the capital’s National Press Club on Saturday noon.

He said, “We also want stopping the drugs. But, extra judicial killing is not acceptable in name of anti-drug drives.”

“If the people, who are being killed, are really drug peddlers, let them produce before the justice. Information about ‘Godfathers’ must be found, if they are interrogated. We do not oppose the drives. But we oppose the system,” he added.

He said, “the government suddenly started anti-drug drives in the year of election as it became nervous.”
