Khaleda wants to stop war crimes trial: PM

Staff Correspondent
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday said none except she herself dared to try the war criminals and that is why, to save them, BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia was now urging fora Hasina-ffee Bangladesh.
"She (Khaleda) does not want me as I have started the war crimes trial after coming to power," said the premier, referring to statements Khaleda made at a Sylhet rally on Saturday.
"She knows very well that if I do not exist, she will stop the trial and make them lawmakers and ministers," said Hasina.
The Awami League (AL) president was addressing a views-exchange meeting with her party's grassroots leaders of Narail, Bhramanbaria, Madaripur, Meherpur, Jhalakhati and Joypurhat districts at her Gono Bhaban residence.
Hasina said, "She also knows very well that nobody, amidst huge obstacles and a risk to life, would have dared to try the war criminals so many years after the independence
"Only Sheikh Hasina will take the risk and Sheikh Hasina will implement it. She knows it very well. ’
By resorting to grenade attacks and observing her birthday on August 15, the opposition leader made it clear much earlier that she does not want the daughter of the father of the nation in power, said Hasina.
Allah, the one who gives life and takes life, will judge, she said.
Reaffirming that she would follow the path of law and principle, Hasina firmly stated that the verdicts of the war crimes trials would be implemented.
Terming the next national election "most important for the nation", she sought votes for her party to execute the verdicts of the war crimes trials and continue the development activities in the country.
"I want another chance to serve the nation," she said, assuring that the election would be held in a free and fair manner like the local, city corporations' and by-elections held by the present government.

She also referred to another of Khaleda's statement that snakes could be trusted but not the AL.
Terming Jamaat-e-Islami, Islami Chhatra Shibir and Hefajat-e Islam snakes, she said Khaleda lives with these snakes and believed in them.
Hasina said propaganda was still being spread against the AL in the name of religion.
Some women with the Holy Quran in their hands
were spreading falsehood against the government among the rural women and Khaleda was behind it, she said.
Hasina urged people to remain alert against these women and said Allah would try those who have been resorting to falsehood in the name of Islam.
AL leaders Nooh ul Alam Lenin, Mahbubul Alam Hanif, Dipu Moni and Satish Chandra Roy, among others, were present.
