Mohibullah’s killing part of international plot: BNP

BNP standing committee has called for beefing up security at Rohingya camps as it thinks this community leader Mohibullah was shot dead as part of a deep-rooted “international conspiracy”.

At a virtual meeting on Saturday, the BNP policymaking body also strongly condemned and protested the killing of Mohibullah by unidentified gunmen at Ukhia Rohingya camp in Cox's Bazar, said a party press release on Monday.

“The meeting thinks this murder is an outcome of a deep-rooted international conspiracy which has created a major obstacle to the repatriation of the Rohingya Muslim community,” it observed.

At the meeting, the BNP policymakers harshly criticised the government for its ‘failure’ to maintain law and order at the Rohingya camps.

The meeting urged the government to arrest those involved in Mahibullah's killing and put them under trial.

Rohingya leader Mohibullah, the head of the Arakan Rohingya Society for Peace and Human Rights (ARSPH), was shot dead Wednesday by unknown assailants in the Kutupalong refugee camp of Cox’s Bazar.
