War Crimes Trial
Khaleda's remark unfortunate (October 13, 2011)
A wonderful piece of commentary.
Brig Manzoor
This just shows the approach of BNP towards war crimes. To them it is not a big issue, as their prime supporter, Jamaat, is involved in war crimes.
Talat Islam
The huge crime against humanity during the Liberation War was conducted by the Pakistani army with the help of their local collaborators. But the crime committed by the Rakkhi Bahini was sanctioned by our own government.

I think the remark of the Opposition leader is fair. The crimes that the Rakkhi Bahini committed were not less atrocious than the war crimes. Principles of justice must be upheld in both cases. No immunity for any killers.
Shailendra Chakravarty
War criminals and their collaborators who committed crimes against humanity have been tried in all countries. Does Khaleda want to fight against this much expected trial? She and her sons amassed state wealth and rehabilitated the war criminals belonged to the Jamaat-e-Islami. Khaleda should be tried for that reason too.
Onik Halder
Your one-sided criticism has frustrated us. There are many myths as well as facts surrounding our great Liberation War. But when people challenge some facts and figures, they are often declared as anti-liberation elements. As long as emotion prevails over rationality, we as a nation have a little hope to succeed.
Jumana Sarwar
One has to reluctantly agree with the article's argument. Yet it has to be stressed that the victims of the Rakkhi Bahini's savage and indiscriminate killings included ex-freedom fighters. The moment is here when the Awami League must also be made to confront its own killing fields.
Raihan Sharif
People of this country are now more concerned about price hike, the worsening situation of law and order, amendment of the constitution, electricity crisis, condition of roads and highways and so on. Please raise your voice against the misdeeds and massive corruption of the government.

I would request The Daily Star to come up with follow up analysis with political ramification of Khaleda's remark about the trail of war criminals. The AL must clean their own house and prepare a very well-designed and coordinated campaign and sharply highlight the issue of war criminals and the role of the BNP against the trail.
