'Rally support against Khaleda's move'



DHAKA NEWS

Dhaka, Feb 26 Prime minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday urged the influential Sector Commanders' Forum to whip up public support against what she said were attempts by

opposition leader Khaleda Zia to save the war criminals.

Hasina made the call when the forum leaders met her at her office, her press secretary Abul Kalam Azad told reporters.

"The opposition chief is trying to save the war criminals," he quoted Hasina as telling the leaders of the forum, which was established in 2007 by the sector commanders of

the 1971 Liberation War.

Azad said the prime minister renewed her government's resolve to hold the trials at any costs.

Retired major general K M Shafiullah, former army chief and one of the sector commanders, led the forum leaders at the meeting.
