Law will be amended to try Jamaat: Anisul Huq

Law Minister Anisul Huq today said the government will take further initiatives to amend the relevant law of holding trial of Jamaat-e-Islami as an organisation for committing war crimes.

The law will be amended as per instruction from the prime minister, the minister said while talking to reporters at his Secretariat office after he was accorded a reception by the law ministry officials and staffs.

The previous Aawmi League government took an initiative to amend the law for holding trial of Jamaat as an organisation involved in committing crimes against humanity but the process was not completed during its regime.

The law minister also informed that a separate commission will be formed to identify the conspirators behind the assassination of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and the four national leaders in jail.
