The Prime Minister said the trial of war criminals Rajakars and Albadars who had committed genocide are going and their verdicts are in progress. Inshaallah, well execute the trial verdicts of all the war criminals,

Hasina alleged that the evil forces of darkness who do not believe in the existence of Bangladesh, do not want betterment of people are trying to spread the net of conspiracy in a bid to thwart the trial and save the war criminals.

Recalling the reign of terror unleashed by the BNP-Jamaat alliance to foil the January-5 election and also to save the war criminals, Hasina said the BNP-Jamaat cadres had set fire to hundreds of vehicles, vandalised thousands of vehicles, cut thousands of trees on both sides of the roads, killed 20 members of law enforcement agencies, including police-BGB-Ansar-Army and killed hundreds of innocent people.

The BNP-Jamaat alliance had wanted to create anarchic situation in the country, they wanted to go to power through the backdoor destabilizing the country. But, the country people didnt fall to their set trap of conspiracy, she added.

Before the January-5 polls, Hasina said, her government had tried a lot to hold dialogue, even was ready to give all kinds of options to hold election under the constitution. Were even ready to form an election-time all-party Cabinet.

She went on saying: Therese no provision of any unelected government in the constitution of Bangladesh. The only one demand of ours was to hold the polls within the constitution. Were ready to give all kinds of options there, which was possible.

Extending her heartfelt gratitude to the countrys people or reelecting the AL-led alliance government, Hasina said for this her government has been able to carry out efforts to complete the unfinished development programmes alongside having the opportunity to advance the country by taking newer development programmes.

Terming the last one year as a successful one for Bangladesh, both at home and abroad, she said now people are in a better condition as the country is moving ahead.

The Prime Minister said 2014 was a glorious year in the history of the Bengali nation for ensuring overall development, maintaining the continuance of constitution and democracy and keeping the nation imbued with the spirit of Liberation War.

She said Bangladesh has emerged as a role model at the global stage over the last five years of the governments previous tenure as well as the first one year of this tenure due to the successful implementation of the development plans.
