They entered the house by breaking open its door, he said.
He said, during this long in evening period Salahuddin has neither been set free not take to the court. On the other hand law enforcing agencies are denying his arrest. “We are deeply concerned at this. The government remains unmoved even after Salahuddin’s wife moved the High Court to issue rule upon it.

This was because dangerous instances of denial of arrest even after picking up people, abduction and murder have been created during the rule of the present government. The victims include Bnp central leader Ilyas Ali, former MP Saiful Islam Hiru, Bnp leader Humayun Parvez, and DCC Commissioner Chowdhury Alam.
On the other hand there were also in stances of staging drama of showing people arrested against after elapse of huge time following denial of their arrests. “We are unaware of what has been decided about Salahuddin or what has happened to his fate. We only want to get him back in good health, he said.
The Bnp joint secretary general said that ‘the audacity of this illegal government has increased to such an extent that after abduction, enforced disappearance and murder of many political leaders they were gradually making attempts at upper level of the Bnp leadership. Salahuddin is the latest example of their cruel audacity, he said demanding his immediate release or production before the court.
Otherwise the government will have to bear the responsibility of deterioration of the prevailing situation. The people will never tolerate a killer government, he added
