Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday came down heavily on the USA and Canada for giving shelter to some killers of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his family members.
“This is unfortunate...these countries are giving shelter to the killers and we’ve to listen to lectures on human rights from them,” she said.
The prime minister was speaking at a rally after placing wreaths at the memorial of martyrs of the gruesome August 21 grenade attack at Bangabandhu Avenue.
The makeshift memorial was set up in front of the Awami League office at Bangabandhu Avenue where the militants lobbed 13 grenades on the Awami League peace rally on this day in 2004.
Sheikh Hasina said the government tried the killers of Bangabandhu and his family members who were assassinated on August 15, 1975. “Some countries like Canada and America are giving shelters to some of the killers. Dalim and Rashid are now in Pakistan,” she said.
