'Execute Bangabandhu murder case verdict, try war criminals'
Muktijoddha Sanghati Parishad Chairman Awami League leader Col (rtd) Shawkat Ali yesterday demanded execution of the verdict of Bangabandhu murder case.
At a meeting held in observance of 33rd death anniversary of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Col Shawkat and other AL leaders also called for joining the movement for trial of war criminals to uphold the spirit of Liberation War.
District unit of Muktijoddha Sanghati Parishad organised the meeting at Shilpakala Academy auditorium in the town.
In other countries, there are many examples of trial of war criminals by special tribunal even after 50 years, Shawkat said in his address as the chief guest in the meeting.
Urging all pro-liberation forces to unite to resist enemies of country's independence, he said, “Pro-liberation forces should also resist any attempt by war criminals to take part in next general elections as they are still against the spirit of Liberation War.”
If political parties withdraw their support from Jamaat-e-Islami, it would be difficult for them to run political activities in the country, the valiant freedom fighter said.
Now it is a moral and patriotic duty of all to join the movement for trial of war criminals, other speakers said at the meeting.
They demanded immediate execution of the verdict in Bangabandhu murder case and called upon the government to officially recognise Bangabandhu as 'Father of the Nation'.
Muktijoddha Sanghati Parishad Secretary General Abdus Samad Pintu attended as the special guest while former lawmakers Khan Tipu Sultan and Dr MS Akbar, district AL President Altaf Hossain, among others, addressed the function with freedom fighter Abdul Kuddus Khan in the chair.
