KHULNA, Aug 22, 2020 (BSS) – Khulna City Corporation (KCC) Mayor Talukder
Abdul Khaleque here on Friday urged to implement the verdict of heinous
August 21 grenade attack that plotted to kill Bangabandhu’s elder daughter
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and the front ranking leaders of Awami League
(AL).
“Ziaur Rahman was involved in Father of the Nation Bangabandhu’s
assassination conspiracy while his wife Khaleda Zia and their son were the
main architects of August 21 grenade attack,” he said while presiding over a
meeting, organised by City and District AL marking the August 21 grenade
attack (2004).
“Zia directly engaged in the conspiracy for destroying the spirit of
Liberation War and turning the country into a failed state while Tarique
Rahman plotted to kill Sheikh Hasina, the main source of inspiration to the
country’s people, to cripple the nation,” he said.
Khaleque, also the city unit AL president, said Khaleda, Tarique and former
state minister for Home Lutfozzaman Babar made the evil design to kill Sheikh
Hasina and most of the AL leaders to capture the state power forever.
The meeting was addressed, among others, by AL City and district units
general secretaries MDA Babul Rana and Sujit Kumar Adhikary, AL leaders
Sarfuddin Biswas Bacchu, Syamol Singha Roy, Mokbul Hossain Mintu, Sheikh
Sayed Ali, Advocate Saiful Islam, Asit Baran Biswas, Munshi Mahbub Alam Sohag
and Jubo League city unit president Shafiqur Rahman Palash.
Later, a doa mahfil was held for seeking salvation of the martyrdom’s
departed souls of the heinous grenade attack on August 21, 2004.
