Law, justice and parliamentary affairs adviser Asif Nazrul has said the trial of the July massacre will be completed by the next Victory Day.
He made the remarks on Saturday during the first session of the second day of the national dialogue titled "Unity, Reform, and Elections," organised by the Forum for Bangladesh Studies, at the Krishibid Institution Bangladesh auditorium in the capital's Khamarbari, reports The Business Standard.
Nazrul said the interim government has three main tasks: the prosecution of genocide, reform, and elections.
"As the law adviser, my primary responsibility is to prosecute cases of genocide," he added.
Mentioning that there were initially no judges or investigation officers in the International Criminal Tribunal (ICT), the law adviser said a prosecution team was formed within a week.
"The judiciary cannot be put under question by rushing the judicial process. There will be no negligence in the legal proceedings and no delay in the judicial process," he added.
