Matin's comments
Dr Chanchal Khan, Melbourne, Australia
The International Forum for Trial of War Criminals of Bangladesh, a Sydney based think tank and advocacy group, is greatly surprised by the comment made by Adviser Mr. M.A. Matin that "We should not be talking about anti-liberation elements after 35 years of liberation war (bdnews24.com; 25 March)." While the Chief Adviser Mr. Fakhruddin Ahmed repeatedly talks about the values of the liberation war and its spirit, this unexpected comment from Adviser Matin raises the question whether the Chief Adviser's cabinet members share the same values as he propagates with regard to the liberation war. There is no doubt that the present government enjoys overwhelming support from the citizens as well as from the expatriate Bangladeshis. This, however, does not give a licence to the Advisers to talk irresponsibly. We do not want this government to fail and the members to be faced with controversies. We further hope Mr. Matin will clarify his position on the liberation war and the collaborators.
