‘Sentences of Tarique to be executed after bringing him back’

Prime Minister and Awami League President Sheikh Hasina said the government would execute sentences of the convicted accused Tarique Zia bringing him back from the United Kingdom.

The premier said this while addressing a virtual joint meeting at Awami League’s central office in the capital’s Bangabandhu Avenue here.

She said, "I will communicate with the British government to bring back Tarique Rahman. Sentences of Tarique will be executed after bringing him back. I urge the British government to hand over Tarique Zia as he is a fugitive convict."

Meanwhile, Bangabandhu's daughter Sheikh Hasina criticized various foreign countries and organizations for interfering in the internal affairs of Bangladesh and said, "We know the condition of their countries."

She also criticized the fugitive Tarique Zia for staying in foreign country. She said, when I was elected as the president of Awami League, I came to the country immediately. Even his father (Ziaur Rahman) could not stop me.

Awami League general secretary Obaidul Quader, presidium member Matia Chowdhury, Jahangir Kabir Nanak, Abdur Rahman, joint general secretary Mahbub-ul-Alam Hanif and others attended the meeting.
