Attack on UNO an ominous sign: BNP
Denouncing the nasty attack on Ghoraghat Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) Wahida Khanam, BNP on Friday said it really is an ominous sign for the united states, reports UNB.
In a statement, BNP secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir also questioned the way the public life and property are safe in the united states when a UNO must fight forever after getting seriously injured by terrorists.
UNO Wahida Khanam was seriously injured within an attack by miscreants at her home on the Ghoraghat Upazila Parishad premises early Thursday. Her father Omar Ali was also injured in the gruesome attack.
She was airlifted from Rangpur to Dhaka, and admitted to the National Institute of Neurosciences & Hospital, Dhaka.
"The brutal and demonic terrorist attack on a upazila level top government official like Wahida Khanam has exposed once more the existing government has turned the country right into a failed state. It does not have any moral ground to perform the state," Fakhrul said.
The BNP leader alleged that the federal government wants to prolong its power by resorting to terrorism. "The opposition parties and their opinions are being suppressed in a gory way. Now government officials are also being subjected to their (ruling party's) brutality."
He said the miscreants are receiving encouraged to indulge in crimes with what sort of current government has been undertaking extrajudicial killings, including that of retired army officer Major Sinha, ever since it has come to power.
"Ghoraghat Upazila Nirbahi Officer wouldn't normally have been attacked had the miscreants, regardless of who they are, been brought under the law and punished earlier," Fakhrul observed.
Stating that the law-and-order situation in the country has deteriorated badly, he said the federal government vicious agenda is on with the pampering of criminals from coast to coast to hide the unfair and nefarious activities like murder, attack, money laundering, human trafficking, looting, tender manipulation and grabbing. "Ghoraghat Upazila Nirbahi Officer Wahida Khanam is the latest victim of such acts."
The BNP leader said terrorism is currently widespread as the government is running the united states in the 'Nazi' style by 'abolishing' the rule of law and ‘burying’ democracy. "Inspired by the ideology of corruption and terrorism, this government is spreading the venomous stem of unrest from coast to coast."
"We don’t know any language to condemn the brutal attack on UNO Wahida Khanam and her father. The incident of seriously injuring Wahida Khanam through a vicious attack is undoubtedly an ominous sign for the state," Fakhrul said.
He demanded the immediate arrest and exemplary punishment of the perpetrators.
The BNP leader conveyed his profound sympathy to the members of the family and relatives of Wahida Khanam. "I wish Wahida Khanam and her father Omar Ali a speedy recovery."
