BANGABANDHU MURDER CASE

Govt violating constitution by not completing trial: Dr Kamal

STAFF CORRESPONDENT
The government is violating the constitution by not completing the trial of the Bangabandhu murder case after several judges expressed embarrassment to hear the case, said Gono Forum President Dr Kamal Hossain yesterday.
According to the constitution, the government can appoint a judge on an ad hoc basis to dispose of a case if any justice feels embarrassed to hear a case, said the eminent jurist at a meeting marking the 30th death anniversary of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
Dhaka city Gono Forum organised the meeting at the National Press Club.
The government must be accountable to the 14 crore people for its failure to complete the trial of the Bangabandhu murder case even 30 years after his assassination, he said, terming unprecedented the government's indifference to the
constitutional provision in this regard.
The death of Sheikh Mujib has left a void in honest, independent and courageous leadership in the country, said Dr Kamal, who was the foreign minister in the Bangabandhu's government after independence.
"To Bangabandhu, people were the source of all power. He even loved his enemies, which is a rare quality among today's leaders," he said.
The constitution expert also criticised the political leaders, saying that they lack the quality of being united. "Division among the political leadership has made our politics sick."
The leaders try to create a division among each other or political parties during any crisis, he said and called on all to unite to save the country from all kinds of misrule, communalism and corruption.
"Let us be united again as in '71 and form a robust movement to
eliminate all the evil forces," he said.
Gono Forum General Secretary Saifuddin Ahmed Manik said the Bangabandhu murder case would not be completed as long as the present BNP-Jamaat government remains in power.
The anti-liberation forces are now active to wipe out the spirit of the Liberation War from all sectors, including administration, politics and education, he said.
Chaired by Dhaka city Gono Forum President Mostafa Mohsin Montu, the meeting was also addressed by Pankaj Bhattyacharya, Dr Abdul Hakim, Mohidul Islam, Commander Abdur Rouf, Mokabbar Khan, SM Altaf Hossain, Mezbahuddin Ahmed, Advocate Sagir Ahmed, Bikalpa Chhatra Dhara President Mahfuz Akram and Muktijoddha Sangsad VicePresident Ismat Kadir Gama.
