Quader terms baseless
Times Report
Road Transport and Bridges Minister Obaidul Quader Sunday described some human rights bodies including Human Rights Watch (HRW)’s allegations over Bangladesh’s security system as fake, baseless and purpose-oriented.
He said this at a regular press conference on contemporary issues at his official residence here.
Ten 10 rights groups in a joint statement on Saturday raised allegations that law-enforcement and intelligence agencies in Bangladesh are launching torture and making ill-treatment on detainees and suspects.
Quader, also Awami League General Secretary, said such allegation is a part of conspiracy of a vested quarter.
He said as per the existing law, detainees are interrogated on specific allegations or at the directives of court.
About raising random allegations of abduction in different periods, he said such allegations come out fake afterward and it has been proved recently.
