‘Banning politics of war criminals under process’

The matter relating to ban on the politics of the war criminals is under process now, a minister said, reports BSS.
"Immediately after completion of the cases in the court, the politics of Jamaat and the war criminals will be banned," said minister for Liberation War Affairs AKM Mozammel Haque.
The minister, also a valiant freedom fighter, was speaking at a discussion on "Bangabandhu and Bangladesh and the tenure of the architect of development, Jananetri
Sheikh Hasina" organised by Bangladesh Swadhinata Parishad at the National Press Club    in the city on Tuesday.
Chief Whip of the Jatiya Sangsad ASM Feroze attended the discussion as the chief speaker.
 Describing the brief history of the war of liberation and a shortsketch of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's longarduous struggling life, the minister for liberation war affairs said, "Acandid picture of the leadership in the country's independence emerge through the Agartala Conspiracy Case."
"Those who deny Father of the Nation's contributions to the great Liberation War do not believe in the independence of Bangladesh and they have no right to pursue politics in the country,"
ASM Feroze said BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia tried to keep people of the country hostages by throwing non-stop siege and hartal programmes for 92 days early this year.
"She along with her eldest son Tarique Rahman tried to kill the leader of mass people Sheikh Hasina in a grenade attack at a public rally in the city on August 21 in 2004," he added.
He said her husband Ziaur Rahman, however, rehabilitated the self-confessed killers of Bangabandhu by giving them jobs abroad.
