Awami League General Secretary Obaidul Quader on Tuesday called for building national unity to stop the politics of killing and conspiracy in Bangladesh forever.

He said this in a webinar on "Mourning August - Black Chapter of History" organized by Uttaran magazine published by Awami League.

Quader said that democracy, values and ideology are being attacked one by one. So the politics of conspiracy must be eradicated forever.

The AL leader said those who staged the bloody Aug. 15 in this country and those who benefitted from the tragedy had met natural justice.

Quader said the Aug. 15 tragedy was staged not only against Bangabandhu and his family, but it was also the most brutal attack on the hard-won independence.

He said the Aug. 15 massacre, the killings of four national leaders in jail and the 2004 grenade attack on Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had the same objective to create a leadership vacuum in the country.

"The masterminds of the August massacre are still active, adding that the killers had faced trial, the death sentence had been carried out but there were still some fugitives abroad and all-out diplomatic efforts are being made to bring them back,” he said.

Quader said that the conspirators of the killings need to be found out and exposed to the next generation.

Editor of Uttaran of Dr. Nuh-ul-Alam Lenin presided over the discussion. It was addressed by  President of Bangla Academy National Professor Rafiqul Islam , former judge of Supreme Court Shamsuddin Manik, Mayor of Dhaka South City Corporation Barrister Sheikh Fazle Nur Tapsad also  Awami League Organizing Secretary Advocate Afzal Hossain, Office Secretary Barrister Biplob Barua.

Later, Quader virtually joined as the chief guest at the National Mourning Day discussion organized by Bangamata Fazilatunnesa Mujib University of Science and Technology.

There he said those who wanted to erase Bangabandhu Mujib from history are being erased from the pages of history today.
