MENON-OIKYA FRONT-WAR-TRIAL
BNP-Oikyafront manifesto inharmonious: Menon
DHAKA, Dec 19, 2018 (BSS) – Social Welfare Minister Rashed Khan Menon today
said there is a discordant between Jatiya Oikyafront and BNP over the
continuation of the trial of war criminals.
“Though Oikyafront pledged to continue trial process of war criminals in
its manifesto while BNP is silent to continue the trials if it comes to
power,” said Menon.
“It is normal that BNP manifesto avoided the trials of 1971 war criminals
as 25 Jamaat-e-Islami leaders are contesting the polls with ‘Sheaf of Paddy,
the electoral symbol of BNP. The dissimilarity unveiled the real face of them
and people will reject their forgery in the upcoming general election,” he
said while speaking at a discussion held at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical
University (BSMMU) here.
Criticising Oikyafront’s pledge, which said there would be no age limit to
get government job, Workers’ Party President Menon said they want to deprive
country’s youth with this.
“The youth understood the cheating strategy and Oikyafront will see its
impact on the national polls slated for December 30,” he said.
BSMMU Vice-Chancellor Professor Kanak Kanti Barua presided over the
function.
