Referring to last night’s train burning incident in Dhaka’s Gopibagh, Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS) Director General Binayak Sen has said such tragic events are likely to be organised by those who are trying to dissuade people from going to the polls on January 7.

The economist said such mindless terrorist acts have been committed before.
