Staff Reporter

Foreign Minister Dipu Moni has said the grand alliance government does not support any extra-judicial killing by the security personnel.

“But it is too hard to stop such killing overnight”, she said while addressing a press conference yesterday at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA), adding, “The main Opposition BNP is trying to reap benefits from these incidents.”

She was trying to focus on BNP’s criticism against the ruling government for not taking adequate steps to stop the border killings while an unidentified group published a poster following Falani’s death in Lalmonirhat borders.

Dipu said, “The government neither has any hand in it nor patronises it. If there is any allegation against any death, the government takes steps and investigates it.”
