Hasina’s role was “mysterious” after BDR carnage: Hafiz

Staff correspondent :

BNP Standing Committee member Major (Rtd) Hafiz Uddin Ahmed today said the activity of the ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was “mysterious” after the 2009 BDR carnage that left 75 persons including 57 military officials killed.

“Fifty to sixty officials had been forced to leave their jobs at the then BDR as they demanded trial of the killings (in the BDR carnage) in a meeting held with the (then Prime Minister) Sheikh Hasina,” he said in a press conference held at BNP Chairperson’s Gulshan office here.

Hailing the Chief Adviser’s announcement to reinvestigate into the matter, the senior BNP leader also demanded reinstatement of their jobs at army and re-investigation into the massacre after forming a commission.

He went on saying, the killings inside the Pilkhana, the headquarters of the then BDR (Bangladesh Rifles), now Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB)  took place in 2009 soon after the Awami League assumed office.

“The killing was carried out to make Bangladesh a failed state,” he opined.
