DHAKA, 29 December 2021, (TON): Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said that it was surprising to hear the United States speak of justice, rights and democracy while harbouring a prime suspect in the assassination of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

She exclaimed “after coming to power, I wrote to all the presidents of the USA requesting them to deport the convicted criminal. I don’t know why America, which is very vocal about democracy, is giving shelter to a killer.”

She added “it’s surprising that we have to take lessons from them on the rule of law, democracy and justice.”

She made the remarks while unveiling Mujib memorial books titled ‘Bangabandhu ebong Bichar Bibhag’, ‘Bangabandhu and the Judiciary’ and Mujib Borsho Souvenir ‘Nyay Kantha’ (Voice of the Justice) published by the Bangladesh Supreme Court on the occasion of Mujib Borsho (Mujib Year), reports UNB.

All the cases filed against Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and their verdicts alongside the laws enacted by the Bangabandhu government were incorporated in the books “Bangabandhu ebong Bichar Bibhag”, and “Bangabandhu and the Judiciary”.
