Nab killers, looters of '71: Sajeda
Deputy Leader of the House Syeda Sajeda Chowdhury yesterday urged the country's people to trace out and nab those involved in killing, looting and crimes against humanity.
“Trial of those who wanted to turn the country into a part of Pakistan, the killers and looters has already started. Trace them out from your respective places and help to nab them,” she said while speaking as the chief guest at a discussion.
Shaheed M Mansoor Ali Smriti Sangsad organised the discussion at National Museum auditorium in the city to mark the Jail Killing Day, observing the brutal killing of the four liberation war heroes.
The four are Syed Nazrul Islam, acting president of the 1971 Bangladesh government in exile; Tajuddin Ahmed, prime minister of that government; M Mansoor Ali, finance minister; and AHM Quamruzzaman, minister for home affairs, relief and rehabilitation.
Sajeda, also the presidium member of Awami League (AL), said the evil force killed the four national leaders to create a vacuum in AL leadership as Bangabandhu and those four national leaders shattered their Pakistan.
She said the blood of Bangabandhu, the four leaders and the Jail Killing Day encourages us to move forward.
“You [the four leaders] can never die as there is no death to ideals and principles,” said Sajeda, adding that their sacrifice proves that AL leaders can never bow down to killers and never will.
Trial of all killings will have to be carried out to make free the country from the evil forces, she added.
Former minister and AL leader Mohammad Nasim, also the son of M Mansoor Ali, presided over the discussion, while AL presidium member Matia Chowdhury; Communist Party of Bangladesh General Secretary Mujahidul Islam Selim; Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal President Hasanul Haque Inu; Dhaka City AL General Secretary Mofazzel Hossain Chowdhury Maya; Jatiya Party (Manju) Chairman Anwar Hossain Manju; and Bangladesh Federal Union of Journalists President Iqbal Sobhan Chowdhury also spoke on the occasion.
