BDR FIGHT BACK

Director General (DG) of Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) Major General Moinul Islam on Monday urged the members of Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) to work with new enthusiasm as well as fresh vigour and valour by forgetting what happened in February last.

"The enemies of Bangladesh have benefited from the BDR mutiny of February 25,26 last as the country is not enemy-less in the world geopolitical arena," he said.

The BDR chief made the call while addressing a Darbar at the Darbar Hall of Pilkhana here, the first assembly of this kind six months after the worst tragedy that killed valuable army officers including the then Director General of the country's paramilitary force Major General Shakil Ahmed.

Major General Moinul Islam recalled the memories of his good colleagues, who lost their lives in the hands of the misguided BDR personnel, and in an emotion-charged voice said,

"members of this paramilitary force did not get any benefit from the mutiny, rather they lost their credibility, prestige and pride which they earned since the War of Liberation."

Among others, BDR Deputy Director General (DDG) Brigadier General Md Obaidul Haque, Sector Commander of Dhaka Colonel Md Azizur Rahman and nearly 2,000 BDR personnel including 82 Junior Commissioned Officers (JCO's) and Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs) attended the Darbar.

Terming the brutal killings of army officers in the Pilkhana as one of the worst carnage in the world, the DG said the culprits involved in this gruesome massacre must be punished.

"The BDR members, military officials, their family members and the people of the country want exemplary punishment to the culprits," he said and urged all concerned to come up with facts and true evidences in the greater interest of justice in this regard.

Later responding to a question from the reporters, General Moinul said the trial process and re-organisation of the BDR is in progress and it would complete soon for ensuring safety and security along the borders
