Trial of self-confessed killers won't ensure justice
Trial of the self-confessed killers of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman would not ensure justice, Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Matiur Rahman Nizami said yesterday.
He said a faction of Awami League leaders led by Khandaker Mushtaq Ahmed were involved in the killing of Bangabandhu on August 15, 1975.
"It is true that some young army officers were also involved in the killing," Nizami said at a programme at the Engineers' Institute auditorium in the city. Dhaka city Jamaat organised the event.
He also said the AL leaders will receive the benefit of AL politics while some army officers will face trial -- this cannot be a fair justice.
About the fifth amendment to the constitution, Nizami said the amendment was made following the soldier-people upsurge on November 7 in 1975.
"So, the government has to think hundred times before changing it," he added.
He feared that the relationship with the Muslim world can be affected if the fifth amendment is changed.
Nizami also criticised the draft national education policy, and called on his party men to protect the institutions related to Islam at any cost.
