BNP for united resistance against militancy

Claming that the country’s extremism has a link to international militancy, BNP senior leaders yesterday said this problem cannot be solved by law enforcers alone unless there is a united resistance from people, reports UNB.
Speaking at a condolence meeting, they also urged the government to take steps for waging a fresh united fight against demonic militant forces as the nation did in 1971 against Pakistani occupation forces. As part of the party’s countrywide programme, BNP arranged the meeting at the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh in the city mourning the killings of foreigners and Bangladeshis in a terror attack on a Gulshan cafe. “Our leaders have long been urging the government not to take the militancy issue lightly. It’s not an internal problem as it has the relation with international militancy. But they’ve tried to implicate BNP and other opposition parties in it, ignoring our call,” said BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir.
He said the government has resorted to such a blame game only to make its political gain by hiding the truth and the real offenders. ‘This problem can’t be solved with lone efforts by treating it as a law and order problem. It should be tackled politically by uniting the country’s all people,” the BNP leader observed.
He said the last BNP government had success in curbing militancy with united efforts of people and Islamic scholars. “But, the current government is busy protecting its power instead of taking any effective step to overcome the crisis.” Claiming that 60-70 percent people support BNP, he said how the government will solve the country’s problem without the cooperation of the country’s most popular party.
