BDR Carnage
'Accused to be punished within govt's term'
Mentioning that the BDR carnage trial is being held after a fair investigation, Awami League Joint General Secretary Mahbub Ul Alam Hanif yesterday said the accused will be punished during the tenure of the present government.
Everyone was anxious during the carnage on February 25-26, 2009 except BNP and Jamaat. They did not contact anyone on this matter, he said, adding that this indifference is a cause for suspicion.
He was addressing a discussion organised by Awami League at Bangabandhu Avenue in the city in memory of the army officers killed during the carnage.
Hanif urged the opposition to talk about the caretaker government system in parliament. “You will not benefit through movements. Come to the Jatiya Sangsad. We will hear your demands there.”
Indicating the BNP as responsible for the BDR carnage, State Minister for Home Shamsul Haque Tuku said the mutiny aimed at toppling the government.
