'BSF to Train BGB'
20-party slams govt
Staff Correspondent
Leaders of the BNP-led 20-party alliance yesterday blasted the government for reaching an agreement with India to train Border Guard Bangladesh personnel by the Indian Border Security Force.
They also criticised the government's move to restore the parliament's authority to impeach Supreme Court judges.
The rally was organised as part of the opposition combine's three-day programme protesting the government's initiative to amend the constitution.
“You can easily understand the country's present situation through the recent deal under which our border guards will receive training from the BSF, the force from whom we will save our borders,” BNP acting secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir told the rally at the Jatiya Press Club.

He asked the ruling party leaders to take to the streets against the BNP without the help of the Rab, police and BGB to prove their might. He added that though he did not believe in terrorism, he had to say this as he has no other option.
Mostafa Jalal Haidari, secretary general of the Jatiya Party (Kazi Zafar), lambasted the government as it did not permit the alliance to hold yesterday's protest programme at 15 points in the capital. The government, he said, has forced them to organise the protest rally at the press club.

On Saturday, the alliance leaders and activists will form human chains in cities and district headquarters on the same issue.
Addressing a press briefing at his office in the capital on Tuesday, BGB Director General Maj Gen Aziz Ahmed said his force has agreed to receive border management training from the BSF.
