Nation couldn’t be crippled by killing intellectuals: Info Minister

The nation could not be crippled by the killings of intellectuals, said Information and Broadcasting Minister and Awami League Joint General Secretary Dr Hasan Mahmud on Thursday.

“In more than 52 years, Bangladesh has gone a long way in implementing the dreams of Bangabandhu under the leadership of his daughter Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina,” he told reporters after placing wreaths at the Martyred Intellectuals Memorial at Rayerbazar in the capital on Thursday morning.

“When the independence of Bangladesh was imminent, the Pakistani occupation forces realised that Bangladesh was going to achieve independence and the best sons of the nation were killed on December 14 to cripple that nation,” said Hasan.

“If there was no ill-politics, communalism, arson and destructive politics under the leadership of BNP-Jamaat in Bangladesh, we could have materialized all the dreams of Bangabandhu by this time,” he added.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina ensured the trial of the war criminals, said Hasan adding, “When we announced to hold trial, many thought that this trial would not happen. Even after the trial began, many thought that the proceedings would start but not end.”

“Many thought that even if the verdict was delivered, it would not be implemented. But to everyone’s surprise, ignoring the bloodshed and pressures of many big countries of the world, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina ensured the trial of the war criminals and executed the verdicts,” he said.
