Protect Hasina to complete war crimes trial
Tajul Islam urges all
State Minister for Liberation War Affairs Captain (retd) A B Tajul Islam yesterday urged all to protect Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina from all sorts of danger as the trial of the war criminals would never be completed in her absence.
He said this while speaking as the chief guest at the inaugural ceremony of the 15-day long victory fair “Muktijuddher Bijoy Mela-2011” held at M A Aziz outer stadium in the port city.
“We lost our great leader Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman for our incautiousness and consequently the nation went backward a 100 years,” he said urging all to strengthen and secure Hasina with their support.
He also said BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia is trying to save her two sons accused of graft in exchange for her support for the identified war criminals.
“If Khaleda Zia does not succeed in doing something within February 15 next year, then she will not be able to do anything against the government after that,” he said.
Urging everybody to hold the spirit of the liberation war and to disseminate it to the youngsters, Tajul said the 'Bijoy Mancha' (stage of victory) at the fair will hopefully play a vital role in spreading this spirit.
He also said the dream of digital Bangladesh will not come true unless we resist graft and the voice against graft should be raised from within the family itself.
Presiding over the programme, Awami League Chittagong city unit President ABM Mohiuddin Chowdhury, also chairman of Muktijuddher Bijoy Mela Parishad, and said plots are continuing from home and abroad to save the war criminals.
He said the port city's people are united to resist such conspiracy.
AL Chittagong city unit General Secretary Kazi Enamul Hoque Danu and Muktijuddha Central Command Council Secretary General Emdad Hossain Matin also spoke among others.
