With Sohojoddha Muktijoddha Command President Asaduzzaman Zakir in the chair, Journalist Subhash Singh Ray, Freedom Fighter Fulu Sarker, leaders of the Muktijoddha Comand, among others, addressed the discussion.
“Tarique Rahman has to be brought back to home for facing trial for his derogatory remarks on Bangabandhu and many settled issues of history,” Iqbal Sobhan said.
“I hope the government of United Kingdom will extend all necessary cooperation to Bangladesh government regarding Tarique’s return to home for facing trials,” he said.
“Anti-liberation forces are hatching conspiracy to halt trial process of war criminals. But their conspiracy will be failed,” he added.
