Dhaka, Feb 22 (UNB) - Law Minister Barrister Shafique Ahmed Monday reaffirmed government resolve that the war criminals would certainly be put to trial stepping over all sorts of roadblocks.

“Three is no doubt about trial of the war criminals. No war criminal can escape the trial. They will be punished because of their anti-humanity activities,” he said while addressing the function of handover of the handwritten constitution of 1972 at his office.

Director-General of Bangladesh Foundation of Development Research Monayem Sarkar presented to the Law Minister a copy of the handwritten 72 constitution formulated after the country’s independence.

Replying to a query from reporters, Shafique Ahmed said the trial of war criminal is an internal issue of Bangladesh. “There is no reason for interference by other countries in this regard. If any country creates hindrance over war criminals’ trial, it will be interference into Bangladesh’s internal affairs.”

Replying to another question, he said Bangabandhu Sheik Mujibur Rahman was trying to build a welfare state where the state would fulfill the fundamental rights of the citizens. “Bangabandhu wanted to build up an exploitation-free country,” he added.
