Undemocratic
I strongly feel that the war criminals should have been tried long before, but the demand for such trials appear to have come at a wrong time and from the wrong people. The people who virtually established the Jamaat in national politics have now suddenly become vocal and want to put the gun on someone else's shoulder to wipe them out. One gets a strong feeling that the Jamaat, by now, has already made inroads into national politics and even if they compete independently in the coming election they are likely to become a force to reckon with. Keeping this in mind they are now out to eliminate the Jamaat on some pretext or the other. Let the people decide whether they should be eliminated or not through the ballots. The Law Adviser has rightly pointed out that they don't want to be a scapegoat to handle such a sensitive issue and those who have not tried the war criminals in the last 36 years should be taken to task first.
I also condemn the irresponsible utterances of Mr. Mujahid.
