BNP Standing Committee member Salahuddin Ahmed on Tuesday said that Sheikh Hasina must face trial.
"Sheikh Hasina is hatching conspiracy from Delhi after fleeing the country. It does not matter from what part of the world she is hatching conspiracy, her trial must be held in the court of Bangladesh or the international courts. She must face trial," he said.
He said this while addressing a street rally as the chief guest at Bhuapurupazila here after offering ziyarat at the grave of ShaheedFirozeTalukderPalash, who was shot dead in the anti-discrimination student-people movement, reports BSS.
He also inquired about the wellbeing of the family of Palash.
BNP Publicity Secretary Sultan SalahuddinTuku presided over the rally at the bus stand square of BhuapurUpazila while BNP National Executive Committee Member ObaidulHaqueNasir, Tangail district BNP President HasanuzzamanShaheen, General Secretary FarhadIqbal, former Member Secretary MahmudulHaqueChhanu and Bhuapurupazila BNP President GolamMostafa were present, among others.
Salahuddin Ahmed said the country's judiciary should be reformed.
The demand of the martyrs in the anti-discrimination student movement was to establish a non-discrimination democratic Bangladesh and a non-communal independent sovereign state, where the rule of law will be equal and rights will be upheld, he said, adding, "We will establish the rule of law".
Pointing finger at those "who destroyed the judiciary", the BNP standing committee member said, "No one will be spared from the trial. Begum Khaleda Zia was sentenced to five years in the lower court and it was extended to ten years in the High Court".
"We want to establish a people-oriented judiciary. I will materialise the dreams of the martyrs in the movement," Salahuddin said, adding, that no one will be allowed to play games with the country.
