Triumph of judiciary
The Supreme Court verdict on Bangabandhu murder case has debunked Gladstone's adage " Justice delayed, justice denied". We had to wait for long 34 years to get justice. Many nefarious machinations were taken to scupper the process of the trial. The Indemnity Ordinance was the first step in this regard. The villainous politicians were very active to save the self-declared killers of Bangabandhu that was very unfortunate for our country. Ultimately their attempts did not succeed ultimately. The apex court of Bangladesh played its due role boldly and responsibly. We cannot but genuflect to the Supreme Court of Bangladesh for its landmark judgement. Now, the government should take necessary steps to execute the verdict as soon as possible. Besides, it is imperative for the incumbent government to make diplomatic endeavours to extradite the convicts who are hiding in different countries. If the govt. succeeds in bringing back the ringleaders to Bangladesh through the diplomatic process, it will be a great victory for the nation. We hope the AL led government will leave no stone unturned to materialize the SC verdict for the sake of rule of law.
