No war criminals at Victory Day events: minister

Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan yesterday said war criminals and people with controversial roles in Liberation War will not be allowed to attend Victory Day programmes in the country.

“Directives have been given to local administration to take necessary steps in this regard,” he said while talking to reporters after a meeting on law and order situation at the Secretariat.

He said all government and private organisations should follow rules while hoisting the national flag.

The minister urged all to refrain from decorating any establishment with lights on December 14 to pay tribute to the martyred intellectuals.
