Coming down heavily on Ziaur Rahmna, HM Ershad and Khaleda Zia, Hasina said all of them had nourished the war criminals and the killers of Bangabandhu, and put them in power to erase the real history of the country. Instead of punishing the war criminals and the killers of Bangabandhu, she said, they rewarded them which led the country towards anarchy.
Hasina said there was a move to erase the real history of the country through killing the Father of the Nation.
"Even they didn’t allow anyone to play the historic March 7 speech. History can’t be erased…UNESCO has recognised this speech."
Following the footprints of Bangabandhu, Hasina said, she has dedicated her life towards ensuring the betterment of the people of Bangladesh. "I’m a full-time worker for the people of this country," she said.
