Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said “We have tried the killers of Bangabandhu and war criminals defying all odds and obstacles.”
“There’s no mercy for killers and money-launderers. The nation won’t forgive them, no matter where they hide and whatever amount of money they spend,” she said at a views-exchange meeting at the Taj Hotel in London on Thursday.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said the courts have given verdicts against killers and money-launderers.”We’ll take measures so that the verdicts are executed…. whatever slogans they raise and whatever offensive words they use…they must be punished,” she said.
The United Kingdom (UK) chapter of Bangladesh Awami League and its associate bodies organized the views-exchange meeting with UK Awami League President Sultan Mahmud Sharif in the chair.
