'BSF chief's remarks to encourage killing'
India's Border Security Force (BSF) will go more desperate and border killing would increase for the recent remarks of the BSF chief that it would never be possible to totally stop firing along border, leaders of some left-leaning parties said at a human yesterday.
They also slammed the government for its subservient foreign policy and demanded the removal of LGRD Minister Syed Ashraful Islam for his careless comments over border killing.
The BSF made commitment to Bangladesh that it would not fire at Bangladeshis, but BSF chief UK Bansal's comment is a "sheer infringement of the commitment", they added.
The left leaders also called upon the people to get united against the aggression of India and mount movement against the Bangladesh government.
Ganotantrik Bam Morcha, a coalition of some left-leaning parties, organised the human chain, followed by a procession, before Jatiya Press Club in the city yesterday.
Central leaders of the coalition Saiful Haque, Prof Abdus Sattar, Azizur Rahman, and Badrul Alam, among others, addressed the programme, says a press release.
