BNP leaders yesterday alleged that the government probe into the Sirajganj train accident would not be fair due to some speeches made by the government.
They however said the 'mass inquiry commission' formed by the party would unfold the mystery of the accident.
They were speaking at a press conference at the residence of Sirajganj BNP President and BNP chairperson's adviser Iqbal Hasan Mahmud Tuku at Mohammadpur in the city.
Senior Joint Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said speeches made by the government proves that its probe will not be fair. That is why BNP has formed the commission to find out the mystery behind the incident, he said.
BNP formed the nine-member 'mass enquiry commission' on Sunday to investigate into the October 11 train accident.
Tuku said police and Rapid Action Battalion are raiding the houses of the leaders and activists of BNP and the activists of Awami League are looting those houses, taking advantage of the absence of male residents.
He alleged that the activists of Awami League are attempting to violate the women of those houses.
Tuku claimed that around 18,000 BNP men were sued in eight different cases in connection with the Sirajganj accident and the possible candidates of the union parishad election are being targeted in the cases.
Rejecting the claim that BNP did not seek permission before holding the rally, he said they had to hold the rally at Soidabad due to another programme of prime minister's adviser HT Imam.
He said BNP sent letters to the deputy commissioner, superintendent of police and National Security Intelligence on September 28, informing about the rally.
BNP Joint Secretary General Rizvi Ahmed and Organising Secretary Elias Ali were present at the press conference.
