[ALOCHONA] Let justice be done.

It's not a matter of revenge. It's a matter of principle. The delay to put the war criminal suspects in the court of law does not minimize the nature of the crime. The delay does not mean that the principles of justice took time to gather muscles but the blame goes to the weaknesses of the Bangladeshi political system which is opportunistic and hypocritical. Late Gen. Ziaur Rahman and his wife the former Prime Minister Khaleda Zia's neo Muslim League approach in the nation's politics must be held responsible for the full resettlement of the enemies of the Liberation war. Even the Awami League is also responsible to some extent. Some people are saying that this War Crimes Tribunal will open the old wounds which can further hurt the process of reconciliation. This is not true because the perpetrators of 1971 crimes never expressed any remorse for their heinous crimes. They rather showed their bloody hands as a warning to the pro liberation forces. During the past BNP government they made a blue print to transform Bangladesh to a fundamentalist state and meticulously tried to plant the poison ivies to hasten their conspiratorial move. The past BNP administration of Khaleda Zia deliberately helped them. Many powerful ministers were planted in the sensitive areas who colluded with the Islamic extremists to usurp power at an opportune moment. This is a lame excuse that the nation can forget and forgive and go forward. If the 100 years old Turkish atrocities in Armenia can still be a sensitive issue and the former German Nazis who were involved in the holocaust can still be haunted and tried, the 1971 war crimes are matter of a very recent past. Therefore this War Crimes Tribunal must proceed to establish it once for all that poor Bangladesh can also uphold the principles of justice. This is not revenge. This is a necessity.
