‘Special tribunals needed to curb smuggling’

Sr. Staff Reporter, Kishoreganj :

President of Bangladesh State Reform Movement, Advocate Hasnat Quaium said that a special economic tribunal should be established to bring back the looted and smuggled billions of taka and to stop looting.

Just as there is a law for murder and disappearance, a law should be established to prosecute theft. A separate tribunal should be established for theft.

Hasnat Quaium this statement as the chief guest at a public meeting Bajitpur town of Kishoreganj on Wednesday afternoon, while Bajitpur unit president Shamsul Haque in the chair.

He said, “In addition to special economic courts to prevent theft, looting and money laundering, we demand a separate civil rights court.

Because if those who are paid with citizens’ money do not work for the citizens, then the citizens can resort to the courts to enforce their rights.”

He also said , ‘In the last few years, thousands of crores of taka have been smuggled out of the country. If even a part of that money can be brought back, the country will be largely self-sufficient.

Our countrymen will not need to go abroad to work. People from many countries used to come and work in our country, now we go to work in those countries.

This is the situation of our country today only because of looting and theft.”We want people’s ownership of all the power and resources of the state. We want elections to change the country against the mafia system.’

At that time, he said to Sheikh Hasina, ‘Don’t play with fire in this country while sitting abroad. Don’t scare people with fire. Don’t scare people with bullets.

Later, a colorful procession out in Bajitpur town under the leadership of Hasnat Qaiyum.
