Protesters demand trial of Khaleda, Goyeswar

Hundreds of protesters at a rally yesterday demanded of the government to try BNP chief Begum Khaleda Zia and her party leader Goyeswar Chandra Roy on the charge of sedition, reports BSS.
“Both of them made attacks on the foundation of the country by creating controversy about the number of people embraced martyrdom in the 1971 War of Liberation. If it is not possible to make them facing trial under the existing law, the government should reform it,” said Mohammad A Arafat, chairperson of Suchinta Foundation.
