Acting President of Bangabandhu Parishad Prof AAMS Arefin Siddique said ghosts of killers of August 15 issued death threat to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and demanded exemplary punishment of those involved with giving such threat. He said this while presiding over a protest rally followed by a human-chain organized on Tuesday by Bangabandhu Parishad in front of the Jatiya Press Club. Prof Arefin, also former Vice-Chancellor of Dhaka University (DU), said military dictator Ziaur Rahman imposed indemnity ordinance providing legal immunity to killers of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Noting that BNP does politics of killings and conspiracy, he said Bangabandhu never believed in politics of vengeance and his able daughter incumbent Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina also doesn’t believe in politics of vengeance rather she believes in peaceful politics, reports BSS. He strongly condemned and protested against issuing threat to kill Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina by a BNP leader at a public meeting held recently in Rajshahi. According to law, it is a heinous crime for attempting and issuing threat to kill any citizen of the country, he mentioned. Prof Arefin said today, May 23, is the golden jubilee of the conferment of the Joliot-Curie Peace Medal on Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. General Secretary of the organization Professor ABM Faroque said his organization wants an end to this hateful politics and urged the government to ensure exemplary punishment of the BNP leader, who issued threat to kill Prime Minister and her associates.
