Dhaka: Awami League senior leader Suranjit Sengupta on Tuesday said law-enforcing agencies have crossed the line marking failure over arresting the killers involving in repeated murder of bloggers.

‘Bloggers are being killed one after another. Failures of the law-enforcement agencies have crossed all the limits. Where is their problem? There is nothing impossible for our law enforcers if they intend it. Why won’t they arrest the killers?’ Suranjit said.

Taking a swipe at the IGP AKM Shahidul Haque’s recent comments that ‘bloggers and free-thinkers should not cross the limit’, Suranjit said: ‘Everyone has to be within the limit. Bloggers are being killed one after another. Have the law enforcers managed to stop the killing of bloggers within their limits?’

Suranjit, also an AL advisory council member, came up with the remarks while addressing a discussion on the country's contemporary politics at the Institute of Diploma Engineers, Bangladesh.

The veteran AL leader said Niladri was killed in his own house in broad daylight. ‘Ananta was killed almost in the same style. Bloggers are being killed one after another. We don’t know what we are doing sitting idle.’

On the verdict on a contempt of court rule against the Daily Janakantha editor and its executive editor which is fixed for 13 August, the former minister said democracy will be strengthened through this verdict.

Observing that no one is above the law, Suranjit said journalists as well as all the members of the appellate division, legislature, and administration have to work following the code of conduct.
