Ruling Awami League presidium member Syeda Sajeda Chowdhury on Friday said the AL-led alliance government must try war criminals of 1971 and also the people who made it possible for war criminals to carry the national flag in their cars. She said the AL-led alliance government would begin the trial process soon as it pledged to hold war crimes trial. Sajeda, also deputy leader of the house, was talking with reporters after paying homage to the country’s founding president Sheikh Mujibur Rahman by placing flowers at Mujib’s portrait at the Bangabandhu Memorial Museum. Referring to the Supreme Court’s verdict of Thursday that upheld the High Court verdict that confirmed death sentences of 12 retired and dismissed army men in the Sheikh Mijubur Rahman murder Case, she said rule of law had been established with this verdict. The Awami League’s general secretary Syed Ashraful Islam said the government had taken initiatives to bring back the fugitive convicts in the Mujib murder case. ‘Our main target is now to executive the court verdict and we are working on it.’ Hundreds of leaders and activists of the Awami League and its associate bodies gathered at the Bangabandhu Memorial Museum to pay homage to Sheikh Mujib, who along all but two of his family was killed at his residence at Dhanmondi in August 15, 1975. Senior Awami League leaders Matia Chowdhury, Ataur Rahman Khan Kaiser, Yusuf Hossain Humayun, Latif Siddiqui, Shatish Chandra Roy, Amir Hossain Amu, Abdur Razzak, Suranjit Sengupta were also were present. They later went to the Banani graveyard, placed flowers on the graves of the members of the family killed in 1975 and said prayers at the graveside. The Awami League president, Sheikh Hasina, also the prime minister, in the evening attended a prayer session at the Bangabandhu Memorial Museum. Sessions of prayers were also held in all mosques across the country after the jumma prayers.
