Bangladesh to have no cohort of defeated forces, says PM

Hinting that Khaleda Zia will one day face trial for patronising war criminals including the executed ones, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday said there will be no existence of the cohorts of the defeated forces in Bangladesh, reports UNB. “It hurts us that the cohorts of anti-liberation forces still dream of Pakistan despite living in Bangladesh. They couldn’t yet forget their ‘Pyare Pakistan’. But, we’ve to force them to forget it. There’ll be no existence of the cohorts of the defeated forces in Bangladesh,” she said.
Sheikh Hasina, also the Awami League chief, was addressing a discussion meeting marking the 45th Victory Day at Krishibid Institution auditorium. Deputy Leader of the House Syeda Sajeda Chowdhury presided over the discussion meeting organised by the ruling party.
Alleging that Ziaur Rahman had first patronised the war criminals and rehabilitated them in state power, Hasina said Khaleda followed the path of her husband after assuming power and handed over the national flag stained with the blood of millions of martyrs to those war criminals by making them ministers.
“What will answer Khaleda to the nation? These war criminals underwent trials and the court verdicts against them have also been executed, even some of them have been hanged...Khaleda will have to take the responsibility one day for making war criminals ministers,” she said.
She also urged all who believe in the spirit of the Liberation War and those who respect the verdicts of the higher court to always keep in mind that Ziaur Rahman and HM Ershad can never claim as ex-Presidents as higher court declared their power capture illegal.
Referring to the allegations of the many BNP men over their cases, Hasina said such cases were filed against those who burned people to death, and destroyed public property.
Lambasting the BNP chief and her son Tarique Rahman for embezzling the fund of orphanage and siphoning off money, Hasina alleged that the BNP-Jamaat men were also involved in August 21 grenade attack, Ahsanullah Master murder, Shah AMS Kibria murder and many more.
