"There is enough scope for politics, of articulating views and opinions in Bangladesh and there is no doubt about it," Hasina told the Voice of the America's Bangla service in an interview. The full audio of the interview, taken during Hasina's visit to the US recently, is available on the Voice of America website. Reacting to a VOA question on the war crimes trials, Hasina said, "Those who made these war criminals ministers in their Cabinet should also be brought to justice.' "There are those who seized power illegally and now trying to come to power by fire-bombing buses and killing innocents to disrupt elections," she said. Hasina said her government had full faith in the people and was ready to combat any challenge that might come its way.
