However, that is not to show any disrespect to the elders. Our
message is very clear. Do your best what Sukanto mentioned a long
time back. Do your best to clear as much mess as you can - before you
leave. Its that simple.

you should have been. We urge you all to pick up the phones and have
those ringing. Cleanse the air for your next generation -
make sure that justice is served and it prevails. Try the war
criminals of 1971. AL or BNP will not do your unfinished job. Make no
mistake about it. If they say they will do that, they could wait
another year for the election, too. Gono tontrer manosh konna ra onek
dekhiese. Ebar ektu pap muchon korte bolen oder ke. They can do that
by demanding to complete the unfinished job now.

Although most of the freedom fighters are still alive, we as a nation
have not bothered to set the records right, instead they have been
used to serve the interest of power hungry leaders and their cronies.

right vision to move forward and the belief in the Spirit of 71 which
is that of sacrifice and selflessness to build a "Golden Bengal."

nation of the corruption and evil forces that brought us to our knees
we must not forget to punish those who opposed (Razakars, Al-Badr and
Al- Shams) our national struggle for independence in 1971. It is
important that the truth should be revealed and what happened in 1971
needs to be known not to look backward but for the nation to move
forward. We must clear the ashes and debris from 1971 so that we can
be reborn like a phoenix and fly to higher grounds.

democratic norms (what a joke), and so on and so forth.

to move forward is to raise the issues and bring to light the 1971
war crimes, crimes against humanity, the genocide, and other criminal
activities that was perpetuated by the Pakistani military, Pakistani
politicians, and Pakistani business troika with the collaboration of
few Bengalis.

for few Bengali collaborators none were tried. Even the trial of
those people that began in 1973 under the Collaborators Act were
abruptly stopped after the killing of Bangabandhu Sheik Mujibur
Rahman, and the accused including some who were tried and punished
were pardoned on December 31, 1975.

humanity to add salt to the wound. The time has come for us to take
up the thread and re-open the cases by setting up a tribunal and move
towards making a plea to the International Criminal Court to try
those Pakistanis who were responsible for the crimes in 1971. The
wait has been too long, the families of the victims of 1971 have
waited for the last 36 years, let us try to repay the debt by trying
the perpetrators and murderers in national and international courts.

and punishing the perpetrators of the 1971 genocide. The time has
come for our generation to solve this issue and not pass this burden
of guilt to our next generations. It is our responsibility to
complete the task we undertook in 1971 to free our motherland from
the clutches of evil-doers. Now it is we who must complete that job
which remains unfinished.
