Prime Minister and Awami League President Sheikh Hasina today called Zia family as killer family for its direct link to gruesome killings like August-15, 1975 and August-21, 2004, saying the killers won’t be allowed to reign over Bangladesh anymore.
“Zia family means a killer family. The killers will not be allowed to reign over Bangladesh anymore,” she said.
The prime minister said this while presiding over a discussion organised by the AL at its Bangabandhu Avenue central office here marking the 19th anniversary of the heinous grenade attacks on the party’s anti-terrorism rally on August 21, 2004.
She also stressed the need for quick implementation of the verdict in the August 21, 2004 grenade attack cases in which 22 Awami League (AL) leaders and workers were killed and over 1000 others were injured, 500 of them seriously.
She continued that the trial in the August 21 grenade attack cases has already been completed and its verdict has also been delivered.
“The verdict should be implemented quickly,” she said, adding that some of the killers are now in jails while the mastermind of the heinous attacks Tarique Rahman is now abroad.
Tarique went abroad giving a bond (of not doing politics) with stealing thousands crore money and is now talking against the country using the facilities of Digital Bangladesh made by her government, she said.
“The people of Bangladesh will not spare him (Tarique),” she said, adding, “If he has any courage, then he comes back to Bangladesh”.বিস্তারিত
