BSS, Dhaka :
Awami League Advisory Council Member Suranjit Sengupta MP on Friday sought intensified police vigil for security of the minority communities criticizing their inability to hunt down the perpetrators of recent attacks on followers of different religious faiths.
“The attacks on minority community people are not acceptable in any way,” he told a Bangabandhu Sangskritik Jote discussion on war crimes trial at Shilpakala Academy auditorium here referring to the overnight assaults on a Hindu congregation in Dinajpur and a Christian family in the capital.
The senior ruling party lawmaker noted that the residents in the neighbourhood detained two suspected attackers to be exposed to justice following the Dinajpur incident while police apparently could do nothing to prevent or arrest the culprits.
Bangabandhu Sangskritik Jote’s executive president Syed Hasan Imam chaired the discussion titled “Trial of War Criminals and Daughter of Bangabandhu Jononetri Sheikh Hasina”.
World University Vice Chancellor Dr Abdul Mannan Chowdhury, Swadhin Bangla Betar Kedra singer Manoranjan Ghoshal, Bangabandhu Sangskritik Jote General Secretary Arun Sarkar Rana, among others, also spoke on the occasion.
Sengupta said the perpetrators of crimes against humanity could be exposed to belated trial and several of them had to walk to gallows the because of the bold stance of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
“Unless Sheikh Hasina was elected to power, the trial of war criminals would have been impossible . . .
So all pro-liberation people should cooperate her,” he added.
The veteran parliamentarian, on the other hand, accused BNP Chairperson Begum Khaleda Zia of pursuing a policy to promote elements like Islamic State (IS) and urged her to redirect her politics towards the spirit of the Liberation War.
“You must acknowledge the history,” Sengupta said.
