| Fanatic killers know they’ll be freed by govt: Hasina |
| 2005-12-19 |
| Awami League president Sheikh Hasina has said that in its bid to hoodwink the people on its unbridled corruption by way of plundering of public money, terrorism, killings, persecution of its political opponents, various misdeeds, misrule and its miserable failure to run the state, the BNP-Jamaat alliance government has been staging the ‘theatre of terror-bombings and militancy’. "As the people’s wrath has been escalating over the countrywide terror-bombings patronised by the alliance government and its ally Jamaat-e-Islami and heightening of people’s miseries owing to skyrocketing of the prices of essential commodities, the Khaleda-Nizami administration has been hatching all sorts of conspiracies," she said while inaugurating a national conference yesterday. She alleged that instead of carrying out investigations by the police after the arrest of the fanatic militants, the elite force Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) had been used now to repair the govt’s image damaged following their extra-judicial killings. "Those criminals who were nabbed with a pistol and a few rounds of ammunition are killed in the so-called crossfires by the RAB while those militants who were nabbed for their involvement in the biggest ever arms and ammunition haul in Chittagong were made to evade the same fate," the Opposition Leader said adding that the recently apprehended militants were giving confessional statements fearlessly as they knew well that they would be released soon. Sheikh Hasina alleged that the government was refraining from proper investigation into the ten truckloads of arms and ammunition cache in Chittagong as the names of some influential ministers would come into light. The Opposition Leader called upon the newsmen to prepare lists of those MPs, ministers, godfathers and perpetrators of fanatic militancy and repressors of journalists in every locality round the country so that they could be hooked and tried in the future when the newsmen got ample scopes to cover events and incidents fearlessly as the days of the terror-bomber government are numbered. |
