Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed has said the killings at Shapla Chattar will be brought to justice, adding that following the investigation and submission of the charge sheet, the judicial process will now move forward.

He made the remarks on Sunday afternoon at a views-exchange meeting held at Al-Jamiatul Islamia Azizul Ulum Babunagar Madrasa in Fatikchhari, Chattogram, in response to Hefazat-e-Islam’s demand for justice over the Shapla Chattar killings.

The home minister said, “During the interim government, I told you to just file the case. I would take care of the rest. You provided the information, an investigation was conducted, a charge sheet was submitted, and there will also be a trial.”

He also said no law contrary to Islam would be enacted in the country. The government would continue working to ensure that religious Muslims and people of other communities enjoy their rights, he added.

Prime Minister Tarique Rahman, Hefazat-e-Islam Ameer Muhibullah Babunagari and Finance Minister Amir Khasru Mahmud Chowdhury were present at the views-exchange meeting.
