Attorney General Md. Asaduzzaman said, in the current era, some are busy grabbing land, some are busy coming to power, some are busy getting positions, some are busy rehabilitating their own people, but you have not focused on the amount of pressure that was needed on us to arrest the murderers and bring them to justice.
He said this at the National Dialogue on Reforms at the Krishibid Institute in the capital on Saturday (December 28) afternoon. This dialogue is going on for the second day with the challenge of trial of disappearances and murders during the Sheikh Hasina era and the July-August genocide.
The Attorney General said, the more pressure you keep, the more we will make a strong effort to move this matter (trial) forward. The more you perform your duty as vigilant guards, the more we will move forward with agenda-based courage while fulfilling our duties to the state and the people.
Stating that unity is needed, reform is not possible without unity, he said, it is not possible to give a rational Bangladesh without reform. Without unity, without reform, it is difficult to complete this trial process in the fastest time.
Expressing disappointment over the lack of discussion on the challenges of the trial, the state's chief law officer said, "We expected you to tell us what the challenge is. We did not get it specifically so that we could go to the place of rational solution."
He said, "For me, the main challenge is the consciousness with which we stood shoulder to shoulder on the streets in exchange for the blood of the martyrs of the July Revolution, that goal, that steel-hard determination, that crack in that unity is the main challenge."
