BNP would not be obstructed to observe hartal: Nasim
Sunday, 30 May 2010
Awami League (AL) central leader and former Home Minister Mohammad Nasim Saturday said the opposition BNP would not be barred from observing hartal but the AL would behave with the main opposition politically.
He was addressing a discussion on 'War Crimes and Present Political Perspectives', organised by Bangabandhu Academy at the city's Dhaka Reporters' Unity, reports BSS.
Presided over by state minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs Advocate Quamrul Islam, the discussion was addressed, among others, by AL Information and Research Secretary Afzal Hossain, Israfil Hossain, MP and AL leader Mozaffer Hossain Paltu.
Nasim said the government was committed to holding the trial of the war criminals during its tenure and added it would hold the trial efficiently.
He said trial of the war criminals could have been completed earlier had late President Ziaur Rahman not cancelled the Collaborator Act.
Nasim criticised the BNP chairperson for her recent statements against the government and said the country's people voted the AL to power for five years.
He expressed his hope that the AL would return to power once again if it could resolve the power problem and free the country from traffic congestion.
Quamrul Islam said that conspiracies were being hatched against his family after he (Quamrul) told that Ziaur Rahman was not a true freedom fighter.
Afzal Hossain called upon all to forge a strong national unity to resist all conspiracies against the country.
