Sunday (November 3) is Jail Day. In a statement on this occasion, Sheikh Hasina said, "Today's besieged Bangladesh has become a dark prison cell, where people have no guarantee of natural death, no right to mourn." Kuchkrimahal created the same atmosphere even after 1975. Today the question arises, did the freedom fighters want this Bangladesh?

It said, a sad day in our national life. After the killing of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his family on August 15, 1975, the second scandalous chapter on November 3. Within just three months of the August assassination, four national leaders, Syed Nazrul Islam, Tajuddin Ahmad, Captain M Mansoor Ali and AHM Kamaruzzaman, who led Bangladesh's liberation war in the absence of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as his close companions, were brutally murdered in Dhaka Central Jail on this day.

In the statement, Sheikh Hasina said, such barbaric killing inside the prison is unprecedented in the history of the world. On behalf of the nation, I pay my deepest respect to the memory of the four national leaders.

He said that the killing of four national leaders in the solitary cell of the prison was a continuation of the killing of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his family. Through this heinous murder, the defeated forces of freedom and the anti-nationalist circle tried to destroy the spirit of the liberation war and make the Bengali nation leaderless by erasing the spirit of the liberation war, progressive politics and the name of Awami League from the soil of Bengal forever. Direct and indirect supporters of those conspirators and murderers of '75 have at various times usurped the power of the country.

Sheikh Hasina said that the indemnity ordinance was issued to protect the self-confessed murderers but could not protect them. Instead of bringing the killers to justice, they rewarded them with jobs in the embassy and allowed them to politicize. The anti-independence evil forces have always conspired against the country to disrupt the democratic process of the country and to wipe out the pro-independence forces. But at the end of the day the conspirators did not succeed and were relegated to the dustbin of history, as will be the future.

He said, we will be ready to face any conspiracy of anti-independence evil forces unitedly. I believe that the countrymen will unite in the spirit of the great liberation war and fight all conspiracies and uphold the rule of law and democracy. This is the best way to pay tribute to the life and work of the four national leaders.

Awami League president said, the cruel reality of history is that one day truth and justice will be established in the course of time. As long as Bangladesh exists, the spirit of Bangladesh achieved through the liberation war will remain alive forever and the nation will forever remember the contribution of the four national leaders with respect. I pray for the forgiveness of the departed souls of the four martyred national leaders.
