Hasina must face trial returning to country: Yasser

State Minister for Information and Broadcasting Yasser Khan Choudhury on Saturday asked ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina to return to the country and face the trial.

The State Minister made the call during a rally organised by Nandail Upazila unit of the BNP, to mark the National Revolution and Solidarity Day.

Speaking as chief guest, the State Minister said, "You fled after killing people, and now you are merely issuing threats via social media. However, the people of the country have seen through these threats. You must return to the country now. Do not come back in secret; return openly, we will even provide the ticket if needed."

He asserted that those responsible for disenfranchising the people, engaging in corruption and plunder, carrying out enforced disappearances and murders over the past years and shedding the blood of women and children who were martyred during the July mass uprising, will face justice on the soil of the country.

He further warned that those who have fled will be brought to the dock handcuffed.

Addressing local party activists and the public, the State Minister stated that the country is currently advancing toward development under the leadership of Prime Minister Tarique Rahman.

He urged everyone to resist any conspiracies or acts of chaos orchestrated by those seeking to obstruct this progress. He also called on the public to promptly hand over any suspicious individuals to law enforcement agencies.
