No mercy to killers, money-launderers: PM
LONDON, May 9, 2019 (BSS) – Hinting at BNP’s Acting Chairman Tarique Rahman who is hiding in London, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina here today said the killers and money-launderers must be punished.
“We’ve tried the killers of Bangabandhu and war criminals and wherever the killers and money launderers hide and whatever money they spend, there is no mercy to them and the nation won’t forgive them,” she told a view-exchange meeting at Taj Hotel here this afternoon.
The premier said the courts have given verdict against the killers and money-launderers. “We’ll take measures so that the judgement is executed… whatever slogans they raise and whatever scolding they give, they must be punished,” she said.
The United Kingdom (UK) chapter of Bangladesh Awami League and its associate bodies organised the view-exchange meeting with UK Awami League President Sultan Mahmud Sharif in the chair.
State Minister for Foreign Affairs Md Shahriar Alam was present on the dais, while UK AL General Secretary Syed Shazidur Rahman conducted the function.
