Leader of the Opposition and Jatiya Party Chairman Golam Mohammad Quader has asked to form a judicial probe committee into the deaths of six people (mostly students) and expressed anger and sorrow over yesterday’s violence.
In a condolence message today, he prayed for the departed souls and conveyed sympathy to the bereaved family members. At the same time, he demanded the formation of a judicial inquiry committee into every killing. He said the students' demand for the quota reform is logical. The government has to accept this reasonable demand, he added.
"Abu Sayeed, a student of the English department of Begum Rokeya University in Rangpur, was carrying out peaceful non-violent protest. Then the police shot him brutally. The world has seen the video of this brutal massacre," he said.
Those involved in the killings must be brought to justice. At the same time, the families of the victims should be given reasonable compensation, said the JP chief.
He also demanded proper treatment for the injured students.
