Bangla Academy president Prof Abul Quasem Fazlul Huq today said ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina had lost her capability to run the country because of her prolonged misrule, oppression, repression and corruption.
"The students and the mass people have ousted the fascist government through the July uprising being inspired with the spirit of Amar Ekushey," he said while addressing a 'shadow parliament' titled 'July uprising has proved that the spirit of Amar Akushey has not gone in vain" at the Film Development Corporation (FDC) here.
Debate for Democracy organized the event with its chairman Hassan Ahmed Chowdhury Kiron in the chair.
Abul Quasem Fazlul Huq said fascist Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina thought of her as the owner of absolute power and ordered to killing of innocent people and she also destroyed the judiciary, law enforcement agencies and the administrations.
Enforced disappearance and torturing the political opponents by keeping them in custody was a major crime of the previous government, the Bangla Academy president said, adding that Sheikh Hasina was forced to leave the country on August 5 last year in the face of the mass uprising led by the students and the people.
He urged the interim government to bring back Sheikh Hasina from New Delhi under the extradition treaty between India and Bangladesh and put her on trial for the mass killing and crimes against humanity.
