War trial to vanish into thin air

The government move to hold trial of war criminals is futile as it is based on lies, Jamaat Secretary General Ali Ahsan Mohammed Mojaheed has claimed.
"The issue of war crimes trial is based on lies. We do not care about it," he told journalists at the party's Moghbazar office yesterday.
Mojaheed claimed people have no interest in the trial. The government is using the issue as a tool to harass Jamaat activists and hide its failure to ensure smooth supply of gas, electricity and water.
The Jamaat leader said his party is not taking the matter seriously.
He alleged that the ruling party has engaged its associated body Jubo League to repress Jamaat.
He said the move to try war criminals is nothing but a conspiracy by the ruling party and its local and foreign allies.
The government wants to turn the country into a dysfunctional state by allowing India to use Bangladesh's ports.
Awami League is now trying to divert people's attention to "farcical trial of war criminals" from national issues.
He said not only BNP and Jamaat but the whole nation will unite against the government attempt to cash in on the issue of war crimes trial.
Mojaheed was the chief of Al-Badr that collaborated with Pakistan occupation forces. He and some of his party men were allegedly involved in war crimes during the 1971 Liberation War.
