Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said yesterday people want the trial of Bangabandhu's killers to take its normal course and be completed for the sake of justice, reports BSS. "The (lower) court has given its verdict on the Bangabandhu murder case as the law has taken its own course. Now it is the people's expectation that the killers will be punished for the sake of the rule of law," she told the "Advocates Conference 2000" of the Bangladesh Bar Council in the city. The Prime Minister said she believed those who deliver justice will live up to the expectations. Chief Justice Latifur Rahman, Supreme Court judges, Law Minister Abdul Matin Khasru and diplomats joined some 800 lawyers in the national conference. Hasina's comments came amidst a controversy and demand for expediting the Bangabandhu murder trial process currently pending before the High Court for review and appeal hearing.
Sheikh Hasina said the judiciary was enjoying maximum independence during the tenure of the current government which has triggered an increased people's expectation from the court.
