Process underway to confiscate property of Bangabandhu’s killers, razakars

The government plans to confiscate the property of Bangabandhu's killers and convicted war criminals and razakars.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said this while responding to a question from a lawmaker during the PM's question-answer session in parliament on Wednesday.

"The government is identifying their property as part of the confiscation process," she said.

She said the killers of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and convicted war criminals have no scope to have property in an independent country.

Replying to another question, the Prime Minister said Bangladesh always wants a sustainable and just solution to the Rohingya problem maintaining friendly bilateral relations with Myanmar.

Besides, she said, the government has taken multilateral initiatives to put international pressure on the Myanmar government.

Talking about the agreement with the Myanmar government to repatriate the Rohingyas, she said any repatriation process is complex and lengthy.

"In just four months, we've signed three agreements with Myanmar to repatriate the Rohingyas," she said.

UNB said, Hasina mentioned that the preparation is on for repatriation of the Rohingyas to their homeland.

"On completion of all the preparations, it'll be possible to start the repatriation soon," she hoped.
