Chief Adviser's Special Assistant Mahfuj Alam on Saturday night said that those involved in mass killing, whether within the administration or through party affiliation, will be brought to justice as accomplices of fascism.
“Gradually, everyone will be held accountable based on proper cases and investigations. This is our clear stance. From the grassroots workers to the main puppeteer, including Sheikh Hasina, all will be brought to justice,” he told reporters at a media briefing at the Foreign Service Academy.
In response to a question, Mahfuj Alam mentioned the interim government is actively working to bring the accomplices of fascism to justice. The government’s position is firm in ensuring punishment for these crimes.
He further stated that this is the government’s second month in office. During this time, the government has prioritized reforms in areas related to law and order and addressing public expectations.
“Many of those who were active as fascist accomplices within the administration have already been arrested, and there are ongoing cases against others. The subsequent legal proceedings are in progress,” Mahfuj Alam added.
In response to another question, Mahfuj Alam said the BNP has clearly expressed their opinion regarding bringing everyone involved in the mass killing to justice.
He added that there may be discussions about a few advisers and officials. “Public anger or dissatisfaction is natural, but we want to see if these advisers are fulfilling their duties properly. We believe that they should be given the time to demonstrate if they are working according to public expectations.”
Mahfuj Alam further added that the government remains committed to controlling the prices of essential commodities as soon as possible.
"We hope we will find a solution. The government is very sincere. We expect that scope will be created very soon to dismantle the syndicate and stop extortion.”
Mahfuj also said the government remains open to suggestions from the people, political parties, and civil society members so that it can address consumers’ issues.
He added that Durga Puja is approaching, which is an important festival for the Hindu community. “The discussions with political parties covered everything from ensuring security during the festival to the social and political initiatives that need to be taken. All political parties have participated in these discussions.”
