Dhaka. The demand to hang former Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been rising for a long time. In the hearing on Hasina’s allegations today, she may be given death sentence. Earlier, violence broke out in Dhaka and miscreants attacked the house of advisor to Bangladesh’s interim government chief Mohammad Yunus by throwing bombs. Orders have been given to shoot at sight those who commit such violence.
Today itself, on Monday, the International Crime Tribunal of Bangladesh can give its verdict in the crime against humanity case against Sheikh Hasina. The government is continuously demanding from the tribunal to give him death sentence. The lawyer of the International Crimes Tribunal in Bangladesh said that Sheikh Hasina can be given maximum punishment. He said, we have also demanded that Sheikh Hasina’s property should be seized and auctioned and distributed among the families of those killed in last year’s violence. He has said that it is possible that ICT may give 30 days time to Sheikh Hasina to surrender. If she does not do so, she will not be given the right to even approach the Supreme Court. According to the news, Home Advisor Jahangir Alam Chaudhary said, law enforcement agencies have completed their necessary preparations to prevent untoward incidents across the country. In addition to the deployment of force, police in Dhaka have been ordered to open fire on violent protesters as tensions rose over the law and order situation ahead of the verdict.
Yunus advisor’s house attacked
Meanwhile, there are reports of violence and demonstrations from many places in Bangladesh. Crude bombs have been attacked outside the house of Mohammad Yunus’ advisor Syed Rizwana Hasan in Dhaka. Arson has also taken place here. There are reports of violence in Cox’s Bazar also. Here the workers of Sheikh Hasina’s party Awami League have created a ruckus. There are reports of uproar and violence in many cities.
order to shoot at sight
According to reports, Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) Commissioner SM Sajjat Ali said, ‘I gave a message on wireless that anyone who sets fire to buses or throws crude bombs with intent to kill should be shot. This right is clearly given in our law. Hasina, her Interior Minister Asad-uz-Zaman Khan Kamal and then Inspector General of Police (IGP) Chaudhry Abdullah al-Mamun are accused of crimes against humanity during anti-government protests last year. These include murder, attempt to murder, torture and other inhuman acts.
Sheikh Hasina said- all this is a conspiracy against me
She said, I don’t care, Allah has given me life and one day my death will come, but I am working for the people of the country and will continue to do so. The ousted prime minister denied allegations of mass killings and placed responsibility on the head of the interim government, Muhammad Yunus, saying he himself had said that he had ousted my government as part of a ‘well-planned plan’. He said, ‘Article 7 (B) of our Constitution clearly states that if anyone removes elected representatives from power by force, he will be punished. This is what Yunus did (removed me from power by force). Hasina said that the prosecutors who made the allegations against her are complete liars. He said, if someone makes a false complaint in the court, he is prosecuted under the law and that will happen one day.
