We are completely dumbfounded by the killing of police officer Babul Akter's wife Mahmuda Khanam Mitu in front of her six-years-old son. What is going on in our country? No one is safe anywhere, anymore. Over the last three years, extremist militants have attacked and killed writers, publishers, university professors, bloggers, foreigners and members of minority communities. We shouldn't let this trend continue.
We urge the government to bring an end to militancy and do whatever is necessary in this regard.
