“We have sent away a fascist who killed 2,000 people in just 36 days, countless people under the age of 16 were abducted, thousands of people were maimed, and 20,000 people were killed during the 15 years rule of Awami League. We have been freed from fascism through the sacrifice, blood and struggle of many people in 16 years,” said Mirza Fakhrul.
“We want to build a new, developed and prosperous Bangladesh under the leadership of Tarique Rahman. We must ensure that the families of those who gave their lives in the movement do not feel helpless, that they do not suffer from insecurity. We want to rehabilitate them,” he said.
