Shafiqur Rahman Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr Shafiqur Rahman has said Awami League (AL) men should be tried under the 'black laws' they formulated over an extended period, reports UNB.
"We do not want any injustice and oppression on anyone. Let them be tried under the black laws they had formulated over a long period," he said.
The Jamaat chief said this while addressing the member (Rukon) council of Jamaat's Dhaka north city unit at Bangladesh-China Friendship Conference Center in the capital on Sunday.
He mentioned that the AL leaders used to claim that the law is equal for everyone and that the judiciary is independent. "Don't they deserve the same rights and benefits under equal laws?," he said.
On Oct 28, 2006, the humanity and democracy of Bangladesh, the will and aspirations of the people of Bangladesh were slaughtered in the rampage of Logi-Baitha , said Dr Rahman.
Bangladesh truly lost its way that day. In exchange for many sacrifices for 17 and half years, it got back its own way on August 5, 2024, he said.
"All the killers from Oct 28, 2006 to August 5, 2024 will have to be tried," he said, adding that the killers of the recent mass movement will have to be tried on priority basis.
Citing that no one wants to utter the name of Awami League anymore now, he said, "Now nobody dares to mention their names. Even their party men do not want to utter the name of their party. Why should we, the oppressed people, mention their names?"
