In a statement signed Friday night by Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi, the party said: “Every member of the Army is a proud son of this country. The BNP statement said, “The party believes that impartial and transparent trials of these crimes are essential to protect the nation’s democracy, human rights, and the Army’s professionalism. “Justice does not only ensure punishment for past acts; it prevents future abuses. “Institutional identity is irrelevant; only the individual’s crimes and the rule of law matter. No one’s isolated crime should affect the public’s trust, respect, or confidence in a patriotic armed force -- and it should not.”
