Bring Hasina back, try her for massacre: BNP

 
BNP Standing Committee Member Hafiz Uddin Ahmed on Saturday demanded bring back Sheikh Hasina from India to try her for the massacre students and the people during the mass uprising.

Speaking at a discussion at National Press Club hosted  by the Jatiyatabadi Muktijoddha Dal, he urged India to return Hasina to Bangladesh in the interest of  friendly ties between the two neighbouring countries.

Jatiyatabadi Muktijoddha Dal demanded  trial of Sheikh Hasina for ordering the police force to carry out the massacre of students.

It also demanded banning of Awami League as a terrorist organisation.

Hafiz said, "Sheikh Hasina is the biggest murderer in history. She did not refrain from engaging in any form of injustice or misdeeds. Many mothers have lost their children because of her actions. I demand that she be brought back to Bangladesh and brought to justice."

"If their party returns to power, Hasina's fate would be like Mussolini of Italy," he said.      

Hafiz said, "We urge India to send Hasina to Bangladesh if you wish to maintain friendly relations. A murder case has already been filed against her, and many more will follow."

Hafiz demanded that the government change the name of the Barishal Cantonment, which was named after the 'despotic Sheikh Hasina'.

He paid tributes to the martyrs of the student-led mass movement and expressed gratitude to the students for their bravery and sacrifices in freeing the country from autocracy.

He said that the blood-thirsty Awami League government made Bangladesh subservient to neighbouring India.

He said the role of the police force over the past sixteen years has demonstrated that it was the worst in the world.

"Many police members are still on the run, and 13 police members were killed in one incident. Neither we nor the students support such actions. They (police) faced the wrath of the local people. Sheikh Hasina and the Awami League are responsible for their deaths," Hafiz said.

He said the killers and bad elements in the police force either fled or were killed.

"We need the police force to restore the rule of law. Therefore, we want to transform it into a people-oriented force, involving those who are currently part of it. You should also support this transformation," Hafiz said.
