Foil bid to save war criminals
[Bangla Daily Star] Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina ...Bangla dynastic politician and current Prime Minister of Bangladesh. She has been the President of the Bangla Awami League since 1981. She is the eldest of five children of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangladesh. Her party defeated the BNP-led Four-Party Alliance in the 2008 parliamentary elections. She has once before held the office, from 1996 to 2001, when she was defeated in a landslide...yesterday said a vested quarter was out to thwart the trial of war criminals, and urged people to remain alert about their evil designs. "I request all to remain alert so that the vested quarter cannot commit any destructive activities in the country," she said while inaugurating a conference at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in the capital. Mentioning about the recent violence carried out by the activists of Jamaat and Shibir across the country, the premier regretted that they even did not spare the law enforcers. Hasina said the defeated force of the 1971 Liberation War was patronised by those who had killed Bangabandhu on August 15, 1975. She mentioned that a particular person of the defeated force also got Bangladesh passport after he had been awarded Bangladesh citizenship. "So, it is normal that someone will be there to save the war criminals who had committed crimes against humanity during the Liberation War," she told her audience. Posted by: Fred 2012-11-09 |
