Khulna, Nov 27 (V7N)- The BDR Kalyan Parishad has formed a human chain and rally in Khulna demanding a fair investigation into the planned killings in Peelkhana and the reinstatement of all dismissed BDR members. On Wednesday (27 November) at 11 am, the human chain ended at the city's Shibbari intersection and the rally ended at Shaheed Hasis Park in Khulna.

The speakers at the human chain said that the then fascist government prepared a blueprint to satisfy the country, tarnish the honor of the army and destroy the Bangladesh Rifles. As part of this, it organized the Peelkhana massacre in a well-planned conspiracy. 74 people, including 57 army officers, were martyred in that massacre.  The fascist government after the incident destroyed evidence and killed 54 innocent BDR members in custody in the name of a farce trial. The previous government arrested them from the border and filed cases against them, even bringing members who were on leave.
 
The speakers also said that the Peelkhana massacre was defined as a so-called rebellion and 18,520 BDR members were punished for various terms, including dismissal. Today, thousands of BDR members and their families are living inhuman lives.
 
All the dismissed BDR members of Khulna district and their family members were present under the chairmanship of Munna, Khulna District Coordinator of BDR Welfare Council.
