| Killers hired from outside: Khaleda |
| 2009-03-06 |
| Leader of the Opposition in Parliament Khaleda Zia said yesterday the killers in the BDR massacre were 'foreign spies' and it needs to be known whether they are from 'within the present government'. "I don't believe any Bangladeshis were involved in this killing. The killers were hired from outside and entered the Pilkhana headquarters in BDR uniform," the BNP chairperson said while addressing a mourning procession organised by her party to pay respects to all killed in the BDR mutiny. "Bangladesh is under attack. A conspiracy is going on, that is why unity is necessary now," she said calling on all people to remain united and alert to safeguard the sovereignty of the country. Khaleda alleged that delays were caused in the name of dialogues during the mutiny to give the killers a chance to escape. She said the BDR incident proves that spies of foreign forces have infiltrated into all sectors of the country and have been launching attacks from 'within'. Terming the Pilkhana carnage a deep-rooted conspiracy against the security of the country, Khaleda Zia said more serious problems would crop up if the incident is not investigated properly and the culprits brought to justice. She warned that 'More blood would be spilled and more damage incurred' if the real criminals are not punished. "We guessed the conspiracy before the election, even our arrests were part of it to place the army in this difficult position before the people," the former premier alleged. She said the nation's independence and sovereignty had been affected by this incident. 'The force protecting the borders of the country has been destroyed through outside instigations and a large number of army officers killed -- this was nothing but a deep rooted conspiracy to divide the country, Khaleda said. |
