They demanded for bringing back all absconding killers of Bangabandhu and four national leaders at the earliest to ensure their exemplary punishments as per the court’s verdicts to free the nation from the decades-old stigma.
Advocate Raju said the killers wanted to destroy AL and reverse national independence through killing of four national leaders after assassination of Bangabandhu without understanding that Bangabandhu and Bangladesh are inseparable.
Mamtaz said the anti-liberation forces are still hatching conspiracies against the country to hinder ongoing massive developments for taking revenge for their defeat in 1971 and
everyone should remain alert to foil their evil plots.
