Awami League advisory council member Suranjit Sengupta has said the trial of August 21 grenade attack must be held to establish rule of law and ensure security of national leaders.
He was speaking as the chief guest at a discussion meeting organised by Banga-bandhu Projanma League at Mukti Bhaban auditorium in the city marking National Mourning Day Saturday.
The AL leader demanded completion of the trial of grenade attack case by 2012. The charge sheet has already been submitted and there is no bar to start the trial process, he said.
This trial would have to be done speedily to strengthen democracy in the country, he added.
Presided over by Bangabandhu Projanma League president Zakir Ahmed, the meeting was also addressed by AL advisory council member MA Mannan, MP, Talukdar Mohammad Yunus, MP, Janata Bank director Shahjahan Kamal, and Dhaka City Mahila AL General secretary Shahida Tareque Dipti, MP, among others. Those involved in procurement of the weapons and explosives used in August 21 attack and those who helped the attackers to flee would have to be found out and brought to justice, he said.
'Those involved in the attack are enemies to humanity and democracy'. They must be tried to uphold the country's democracy and judiciary, he added.
MA Mannan criticised the BNP chairperson, Khaleda Zia, for celebrating her birthday on August 15, National Mourning Day.
