Satkhira freedom fighters demand trial of war criminals
Freedom fighters and pro-liberation forces brought out a colourful procession and held a rally in the town yesterday congratulating the people for 'rejecting anti-liberation forces and war criminals' in the December 29 parliamentary election and demanding their trial.
They said people of the district took a right decision by voting out the three Jamaat-e-Islami leaders in Satkhira-2, Satkhira-3 and Satkhira-4 constituencies who contested the poll as BNP-led four-party alliance candidates. The three lost to Awami League-led grand alliance candidates.
The procession organised by Satkhira district unit of Bangladesh Muktijoddha Sangsad was brought out from its office premises at Muktijoddha Complex in the town. The processionists paraded the main thoroughfares of the town chanting various slogans.
After the procession, a brief rally was held on Muktijoddha Complex premises with its district unit convenor Enamul Haque in the chair. Speakers said the entire nation wants trial of war criminals who were involved in killing, loot, rape, arson by raising paramilitary forces forming Rajakars, Al- Badar and Al- Shams.
They said in the election the people gave a clear verdict in favour of trial of war criminals and implementation of the spirit of the LiberationWar.
They said the historic verdict has created the scope for restoration of spirit of 1972 constitution, which banned religion-based politics in Bangladesh.
They demanded removal of partisan persons loyal to Jamaat from the administration and all institutions.
The freedom fighters also demanded trial of people who tortured and attacked freedom fighters and their families during BNP-Jamaat government.
