BNP trying to foil war crimes trial: Inu
Information Minister Hasanul Haque Inu yesterday alleged that the main opposition BNP was trying to foil the ongoing war crimes trial and save militants and communal forces in the country.
“She [Khaleda Zia] has been trying to foil the war crimes trial in different ways and now remained silent after Jamaat-e-Islami openly announced to stop the trial,†Inu claimed at a discussion.
“And, her silence is nothing but a support to Jamaat's conspiracy to foil the trial,†added Inu, also the president of Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal.
The Anti-Corruption Commission has brought back laundered money of Khaleda's younger son Arafat Rahman Koko, which proved that “her sons used to lead dishonest lives,†said Inu.
He said Khaleda failed to be a leader of the country by defending her “corrupt sonsâ€.
Colonel Taher Sangsad organised the discussion as part of a daylong “Taher Mela†marking 74th birth anniversary of Shaheed Col Abu Taher at TSC on Dhaka University campus.
Jahangirnagar University Vice Chancellor Prof Anwar Hossain said after the assassination of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the country fell into “deep darkness†and Taher along with pro-liberation forces came forward to change the situation.
“But his efforts were not a complete success,†said Anwar, Taher's brother.
He said the anti-liberation forces which killed Bangabandhu and other national leaders were still active.
Pilkhana mutiny, Ramu incident and the recent Jamaat attacks on police surfaced this conspiracy, said Anwar, also vice president of Col Taher Sangsad.
Communist Party of Bangladesh leader Haider Akbar Khan Rano, former DUCSU general secretary Mostak Hossain, and the sangsad General Secretary Mohammad Ali, among other, spoke with Prof Anwar in the chair.
