Asif Nazrul He said, in the last July killings, people saw with their own eyes that an old generation was madly addicted to murdering a young generation of the country. No matter how much pain, how much despair, how much anger is in our chest – this murder trial must be acceptable to everyone. We do not seek revenge or vengeance. We want to ensure justice.
