Dhaka Bureau: Bangabandhu’s daughter Sheikh Hasina has shown us hope by prosecuting war criminals. Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal mentioned that those who killed the freedom fighter army members with their words will also be tried in this country. He also said that an investigation committee is being formed for this.
He said this while addressing a protest meeting titled ‘November 7, Freedom Fighters Killing Day Discussion Meeting’ at the central Shahid Minar of the capital on Monday (November 7).
In the discussion meeting, the speakers demanded trial for the indiscriminate killing of the freedom fighters on November 7, 1975, protest against the killing and posthumous trial of the murderer Zia.
In this meeting organized by ‘7th November 1975 Shaheed Muktijoddha Parivargag’, the Home Minister said that after the indiscriminate killing of army officers on 7th November 1975, their families did not know where their bodies were buried. We prosecuted war criminals. After the trial, the bodies were returned to their relatives. But the relatives of the freedom fighters did not even get their bodies. We hope they will see the murder trial alive. Those who killed freedom fighters and played Holi with the blood of soldiers must face justice.
He also said that the killers of freedom fighters must be tried. Here the family members of the martyrs have demanded justice for their father’s murder, this is the demand of everyone. A ‘rule’ has already been issued in this regard. Hope you (martyr’s family members) can see the trial in your lifetime.
During the speech of the special guest, Asaduzzaman Noor MP said that many books have been published about the heroism of the liberation war. But in the whole book, no evidence is found about Ziaur Rahman’s war involvement. Why not found? Because he did not go to war and started plotting from day one after returning home. Those who commit arson and kill people should be banned from Bangladesh politics and he urged everyone to unite.
At that time, Vice-Chancellor AHM Shamsuddin Chowdhury Manik said that the killing of Bangabandhu in his family, the killing of four national leaders in jail, the killing of freedom fighter soldiers on November 7 and the murders that were carried out in the name of the alleged trial on October 2, 1977 were all under the leadership and support of the murderer Ziaur Rahman. Its fair trial is the demand of time.
President of Bangladesh Asiatic Society Bir Muktijodha Professor Dr. Under the chairmanship of Khandaker Bazlul Haque, Mahzabin Khaled, daughter of martyred Major General Khaled Musharraf Biruttam, Nahid Izahar Khan MP, daughter of martyred Colonel Khandaker Nazmul Huda Birvikram, also spoke on the occasion.
