Biman board holds meeting amid protests
Says Quamrul
State Minister for Law Quamrul Islam yesterday said nobody will be able to protect the war criminals despite the opposition BNP's “deep plot” against the government.
“BNP organising secretary (Sylhet division) M Ilias Ali's disappearance is part of their conspiracy… the opposition party is involved in the conspiracy to oust the elected government and bring another 1/11 in the country,” he said at a discussion at the Jatiya Press Club in the capital.
Biswa Kabitakantha Parishad organised the discussion to press for accelerating the ongoing trial of war criminals.
Chaired by Parishad president Jahangir Alam, the meeting was addressed, among others, by Awami League leaders Satish Chandra Roy and Shah Alam Murad, poet Kazi Rosy, organising secretary of Krishak League MA Karim and Jatiya Ganotantrik League president MA Aziz.
Speaking as the chief guest, Quamrul Islam said the war crimes trail is continuing against those who were involved in crimes against humanity during the country's liberation war in 1971 and the trial will be completed within this year.
“The war crimes trial is being held in fair and transparent manner maintaining international standard,” he added.
