Pilkhana tragedy: BNP demands high-level probe

Senior Correspondent: Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) has demanded a high-level investigation committee to unearth the mystery behind the Pilkhana tragedy.

Alongside, the party also demanded to declare February 25 as the National Mourning Day as many of army officials were killed on the day.

BNP Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi Ahmed came up with the demands in a press briefing at the party's central office in the capital's Nayapaltan on Friday noon.

BNP also demanded revoking the latest hike in gas pricing by the government.

Rizvi Ahmed said, “The ruling Awami League has hiked gas prices five-fold in three phases”.

“The common people will pay the price for the price hike. Its impact will fall on every sector,” he added.
