War Crimes Trial
'Unite against conspiracy'
Veteran former leaders of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) yesterday called upon the people to be united against the conspiracy by the anti-liberation forces to foil the government initiative to try the war criminals.
Speaking at a discussion marking the national mourning day at Diploma Engineers Institute in the capital, former BCL leaders feared that the defeated forces of the Liberation War in 1971 will create anarchy to foil the initiative.
They said the anti-liberation units had brutally killed the father of the nation Bangabandhu and most of his family members on August 15, 1975 to ruin the spirit of the liberation war.
Praktan Chhatra League Foundation, a platform formed by the former BCL leaders and activists arranged the discussion.
The country could not achieve independence if the nation had not its great son Bangabandhu born, said the leaders many of whom were close to Bangabandhu.
They said they had started working under Bangabandhu to build a hunger and repressions-free country.
“Bangabandhu had united people and he had planted the seed of independence,” said former Chhatra League president and incumbent Awami League lawmaker Tofail Ahmed.
Tofail said Bangabandhu had taught his activists politics and turned them leaders.
Convener of the foundation Abdur Rouf said they had learnt other social norms from Bangabandhu and they feel proud being a part of the student body.
Among others, former BCL leaders Mahmudur Rahman Manna, Amir Hossain Amu, Khaled Mohammad Ali, Sheikh Shahidul Islam, MA Rashid spoke with Nur-e-Alam Siddique in the chair.
