War criminals to be brought to book: Hasina

'Ershad tried to rehabilitate Bangabandhu killer'

UNB, Copenhagen
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said the nation would get rid of the curse and stigma of the assassination of its founding father completely only after the execution of the verdict in the Bangabandhu murder case.
She also reaffirmed her government's commitment to bringing tlvc war criminals to justice.
The prime minister said this while addressing a community reception and discussion arranged by the Denmark unit of the Awami League at Copenhagen Conference Centre on Wednesday on the occasion of the Victory Day and her visit to the Danish capital.
Hasina said that Ziaur Rahman as well as Khaleda Zia rehabilitated the killers of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman by providing them with jobs in the Bangladesh missions abroad and by making them 'so-called' members of parliament.
She mentioned that Khaleda had made Rashid an MP through the 'voter-less farcical election' held on February 15 in 1996. General Ershad had also tried to make another killer, Faruq, an MP in the 'farcical' election in 1988, she added. "But the people did not allow him to do so."
Hasina said she and her team are now in Copenhagen to inform the world of Bangladesh's vulnerability to the climate calamities and to arrange compensatory grants for the country's innocent people from the developed countries, who are mainly
responsible for the global climate change through excessive carbon emission.
She also renewed her pledge to make Bangladesh a most peaceful country in the South Asian region. "Terrorism and corruption will have no place in Bangladesh," she added.
It is almost one year since the present government assumed the office on January 6 this year, but none can bring allegations of corruption
against any of the cabinet members, the prime minister told the gathering of expatriate Bangladeshis.
Hasina said the gas resources in the country would be explored and used in such a way that the people can get maximum benefits from their natural resources.
She also observed that the previous caretaker government did one good tiling --they prepared a flawless voter list after identifying some 1.23 crore fake voters.
The present government is working to turn Bangladesh into a modem country, she said and called on the expatriates to help the government in its efforts to bring about development
Hasina said the expatriate Bangladeshis across the world are the lifeline of the country's economy as they continue to send home a huge amount of foreign currencies despite global economic recession.
She promised to safeguard the voting right of the expatriate Bangladeshis and ensure harassment-free and quality services for them at the country's airports as well as safe migration.
She also requested them to
make investment in various development sectors of Bangladesh.
"I assure you of providing all necessary facilities and creating scopes and a congenial atmosphere for Investment In the country," Hasina told the expatriates.
Foreign Minister Dipu Moni and State Minister for Environment Hasan Mahmud also spoke at the reception presided over by Denmark Awami League President Mustafa Majumder.
The reception was followed by a cultural programme where expatriate Bangladeshi women and children performed.
Health Minister AFM Ruhal Haque, Bangladesh Ambassador to Sweden and Accredited Ambassador to Denmark Imtiaz Ahmed, All European Awami League President Anil Das Gupta, The Daily Star Editor Mahfuz Anam, daily Samakal Editor Golam Sarwar, economist Dr Kholiquzzaman Ahmad, Fazle Noor Taposh MP, Jahid Ahsan Russel MP, Iqbalur Rahim MP, Mahbub Ara Gini MP and Press Secretary to the Prime Minister Abul Kalam Azad attended the function.
