Demands punishment to war criminals
Staff Correspondent
Congratulating Sheikh Hasina for AL-led grand alliance’s landslide victory under her leadership in the 9th parliamentary election, Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) President Colonel (retd) Oli Ahmed called upon the coming Premier not to allow in the cabinet those persons who were involved in corruption earlier.
“I am calling upon Sheikh Hasina not to allow any corrupt in the cabinet as people have given their mandate in favour of AL-led grand alliance against corruption this year. Hence, you (Hasina) will have to strengthen the anti-corruption drive and give a teaching to those persons who have already been elected as MPs but were engaged in corruption,” Colonel Oli said.
LDP President made this call while he was speaking at a reception given to him by his party men at Maghbazar party’s central office yesterday.
He said a great responsibility has been imposed on Sheikh Hasina through people’s mandate in the election. As a Prime Minister she will have to respect the people’s verdict, meeting their demand. “Sheikh Hasina will have to bring war criminals under trial as the countrymen have been demanding it for long,” LDP President said.
He urged the new democratic government led by Sheikh Hasina to abolish the caretaker government system in order to protect the country and its people from the political and economical disaster which was created by unskilled Advisors to the CG.
“The country’s economy is facing a dreadful situation right now as unelected caretaker government formed by inefficient persons were totally aloof from the people and pushed the people into uncertainty. It is the high time to abolish this system through amending constitution,” he added.
Replying to a query, he said that those ordinances passed by the caretaker government which are detrimental for the country and its people should be cancelled.
After landslide victory the grand alliance may face terrible danger in future if it does not evaluate its past activities. Citing an example, he said in this subcontinent the parties which came to power with absolute majority, did not create a good and satisfactory record. Therefore, Sheikh Hasina will have to be careful handling matters strictly, he added.
He said LDP would help the next government in running the state for the greater interest of the country while his party leaders urged Sheikh Hasina to include the name of LPD President in her cabinet.
