Shahariar Kabir, acting president of the Ghatak-Dalal Nirmul Committee yesterday said the BNP-led 18-party alliances’ “March for Democracy” programme on December 29 was organised to foil the war crimes’ trial and to destroy the country’s constitution.
He urged the Ganagajaran Mancha as well as the general people of the country, who believe in and support the war of liberation, to protest Sunday’s programme.
Terming it a means to save the war criminals, Shahariar Kabie, said: “The BNP-led 18-party alliance has called the program to foil the war criminals’ trials and to save the war criminals.”
Shahariar was addressing a rally at the Shahabag Projonmo Chattar organised by the Ganagajaran Mancha yesterday.
Regarding BNP’s programme on December 29, he said: “On the same day in 2008, people who are inspired by the liberation war and believed in it, elected the Al-led 14 party alliance. On the other hand, war criminal Ghulam Azam was elected as Bangladesh Jamat-e-Islami amir on the same day, so the opposition has selected this day as part of a show of revenge.”
He also condemned the Pakistani government for allegedly interfering with Bangladesh’s internal affairs.
Ganagajaran Mancha convener Imran H Sarkar presided over the rally while blogger and online activist Badhon conducted it.
