Staff Correspondent
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday urged her political archrival Khaleda Zia to divulge every piece of evidence she has before the probe body on the BDR mutiny for a fair investigation to identify the culprits.
"1 earnestly request her [Leader of the Opposition and BNP chief Khaleda Zia] to hand over all the evidence she has to the probe committee so that a fair investigation is carried out into the incident (BDR mutiny] to identify the culprits," said Hasina.
She was addressing a discussion marking the father of the nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's historic March

7 speech organised by Awami League (AL) at Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh in the capital. Senior leaders of the AL-Ied 14-party combine also spoke at the discussion chaired by Hasina.
"I'm pledging again that proper investigation will be carried out and stern punishment will be handed down on the people responsible," said Hasina, adding, "I will ensure punishment to the culprits at any cost."
In her 24-minute speech, the premier also urged the people not to be deluded by propaganda and rumours. "Rather you [general public) will have to remain united and alert so that no further con- . spiracy is plotted," she said seeking cooperation of all.
Hasina. the eldest daughter of Bangabandhu, termed the killings of army officers at BDR Headquarters something beyond imagination. She said those who wanted a civil war in the country designed the incidents in a bid to destroy democracy.
"The incident has been carried out at a time when we made a move to try the killers of Bangabandhu, four national leaders, and the war criminals and when names of many big fishes involved with the 10 truckloads of arms smuggling and the August 21 grenade attack were surfacing through fresh investigation," Hasina said.
Saying that her govern ment took all necessary measurers to save the country from a civil war during the BDR mutiny, Hasina pointing her finger to BNP said those
who plotted the incident are still spreading provocation when the entire nation is showing sympathy.
The AL chief urged all to remain patient so that no more killings take place in the country.
She said the main goal of the War of Liberation has not been attained as democracy has been interrupted again and again since the assassination of the father of the nation. And for these reasons the country has not been developed economically and backtracked again and again, she added.
The PM directed her party workers to take the country forward economically to fulfil her party's electoral pledges and remain alert so that none could conspire again against democracy and economic freedom.
Hasina also thanked the army personnel for preparing an accurate voter list, and the caretaker government, armed forces, law-enforcement agencies and the then administration for holding a free, fair and credible election.
She paid rich tributes to Bangabandhu, four national leaders who were killed in the jail in 1975, people who sacrificed their lives for the freedom of the nation and the army officials who were killed during the BDR mutiny.
Earlier in the morning, the prime minister along with party leaders including her cabinet colleagues laid floral wreaths at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's portrait at Bangabandhu Memorial Museum on Road 32 in Dhanmondi.
