‘ক্রসফায়ার’ নিয়ে আইজিপির বক্তব্যের নিন্দা-ক্ষোভ, প্রত্যাহারের দাবি

Police Inspector General Ali Hossain Fakir said at a Dhaka event on Monday, 26 October, that police would conduct crossfire killings where needed if the government allowed it. Human rights groups including HRSS, Odhikar, ASK and TIB condemned the remarks as a signal for extrajudicial killings and demanded their withdrawal, a government clarification and accountability. TIB called him to apologise unconditionally and step down until accountable; ASK sought a clear government stance. Jamaat-e-Islami, AB Party and Islami Andolan Bangladesh also condemned the remarks, and Jamaat said he violated service rules. DUCSU VP Sadik Kayem criticised them as well. Separately, the Bangladesh Crime Reporters Association said he made demeaning remarks about journalists, saying reporters wrote that police were ineffective without drug money, and demanded withdrawal within 24 hours.

Where accounts differ. Prothom Alo reports the Crime Reporters Association's demand that he withdraw his remarks on journalists within 24 hours, which only Prothom Alo carries; the other outlets do not mention this.
