Acting president of the Awami League Zillur Rahman yesterday demanded trial of the war criminals through forming a special tribunal and urged the government to deny the anti-liberation forces political rights.
“I'm urging the government not to give the Razakar, Al Badr, Al Shams Bahini political rights as they still do not believe in Bangladesh's independence,” Zillur said talking to reporters at his Gulshan residence in the capital.
The AL leader said those who do not believe in the independence of the country should not have the rights to carry out political activities.
He also urged the Election Commission not to register the parties which misuse religion in politics. The war criminals must be punished, he said, adding that the entire nation now raised their voice demanding their punishment.
Zillur urged the party workers to be alert about the war criminals.
AL Presidium Member Tofail Ahmed said a national consensus has been reached about the trial of the war criminals.
AL leaders Syed Ashraful Islam, Maj Gen (retd) Subid Ali Bhuiyan, Dipu Moni, Jubo League leaders Prof Mizanur Rahman, Mujibur Rahman Chowdhury, among others, were present at the programme to mark the 35th founding anniversary of Jubo League, which was formed in 1972 under the leadership of Sheikh Fazlul Haque Moni.
