Trial of war criminals
The present CTG came into power with overwhelming support from all segments of people. Some of their activities are being highly appreciated by the common people. It is the perception of the common people that the present government will complete all those works which were not done by the political governments over the last 36 years. For example, separation of the judiciary from the executive was one of the main commitments of all the previous governments, but they did not do that. Similarly, justice for the war criminals is one of the long outstanding demands of the people. People believe that justice will never be done by any political government in future. So, like war against corruption, they should take the initiative to bring the war criminals under the purview of law. Definitely, it is a gigantic task but the CTG cannot bypass their responsibility in this matter. If they avoid it by saying that their work volume will increase or their main task is holding the election, then their other works that are related to policy matters will be questioned. The war criminals must be punished for their misdeeds. At least, they may be banned from election.
