Justice for the victims

Two foreigners have been brutally murdered within the span of one week. Cesare Tavella, an aid worker from Italy, was shot dead in the highly protected diplomatic zone in the capital and after five days Kunio Hoshi, a Japanese citizen, was gunned down by unidentified assailants in Rangpur. It was an extremely cowardly and shameful act. We condemn these heinous acts committed by those trying to destabilise the country and defame its secular image around the world. The ruling party should stop pointing fingers at its opposition BNP-Jamaat. Our PM accused the BNP while she was addressing a press conference in New York. This kind of politicisation of the situation is not only detrimental to the investigation but also emboldens the murderers. We demand that the government nab the culprits immediately and dispense justice and peace to the departed souls.
