The purpose of this killing was to destroy Bangladesh, he said, adding that the assailants were well aware that by targeting Bangabandhu and his family, they sought to annihilate the spirit of the nation.
"The conspirators behind this heinous act were those who opposed the very existence of Bangladesh. Until the rest of the murderers are brought back to the country and the judgement of the trial is fully implemented, I will keep trying to bring them back," he added.
