Sarjis Alam, seneral secretary of the July Shaheed Smriti Foundation, today said Sheikh Hasina and her associates have no rights to engage in politics until they face trial for all the crimes they committed.

"How can we console the parents, brothers and sisters of the martyred families of my brother and sister who were martyred? The murderer Hasina has always tried to consolidate power by telling stories of 1975," he said.

He reaffirmed his commitment to justice for the victims of the July martyrs while talking to journalists at the Barishal District Shilpakala Academy auditorium today, while inquiring about the family members of the martyrs of Barisal division during the movement.

He condemned those advocating for the political rehabilitation of Sheikh Hasina and her associates, describing them as accomplices of fascists.

"We will not let this happen even at the cost of our lives," he said.

"How did she kill 2,000 people? If she understands compassion, how can she commit these murders? They have no right to live in Bangladesh with the political platform they have in mind," Sarjis said.

He gave financial assistance of Tk 5 lakh to 79 martyr families of Barishal division from the July Shaheed Smriti Foundation.

Deputy Commissioner Mohammad Delwar Hossain, Civil Surgeon Dr Maria Hasan, Additional Superintendent of Police Alaul Hasan, Chief Executive Officer of July Shaheed Smriti Foundation Mir Mahbubur Rahman Snigdha, Central Coordinator Mahin Sarkar, and family members of those killed and injured in July-August were present the programme.
