Immediate trial of war criminals demanded
Peshajibi Samannaya Parishad on Monday announced a 40-day programme beginning today to press its demand for immediate trial of the war criminals.
The parishad leaders announced the programme at a press conference at the Bangladesh Medical Association (BMA) Bhaban in the city.
Its Member Secretary Dr Qamrul Hasan Khan said the government or any political party is not solely responsible for trying the war criminals. Rather it is national duty like the Liberation War.
The Peshajibi Samannaya Parishad, an organisation of the pro-Awami League professionals, has announced the programme to strengthen the movement, demanding trail of the war criminals, Dr Qamrul said.
He also pointed out that it is absolutely impossible to establish prosperous, non-communal and democratic Bangladesh without trying the anti-liberation forces.
He also demanded execution of the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman killers absconding abroad.
The programmes include holding lawyers' rally at the Supreme Court on June 8; engineers' rally at the Institutions of Engineers, Bangladesh on June 12; doctors' rally at the Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University on June 22 and agriculturists' rally on June 24 at Khamarbari.
It will also organise divisional rallies in Rajshahi on July 1, in Khulna on July 3, in Chittagong on July 6, journalists' rally at the National Press Club on July 8 and Peshajibi Samannaya Parishad grand rally at the EIB in Dhaka on July 10.
