During a discussion on the late Jatiya Party MP Nasim Osman in Parliament on Tuesday, Sheikh Hasina also said ‘conspiracy’ was afoot against this family and vowed to stand by their side.
Nasim’s younger brother and Awami League MP Shamim Osman was present in Parliament during the speech.
Shamim Osman has been accused by many quarters of involvement in the sensational seven murders and the murder of school student Tanvir Ahmed Twaki in Narayanganj.
BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has accused him of being a “criminal godfather”.
Hasina told Parliament the propaganda against the Osman family was a political ploy.
“The conspiracies to hinder democracy from moving ahead are not over,” she said.
“If someone commits any wrongdoing, the law will punish them. But the nation must be alert against political harassment and attempts to destroy a family,” she said.
“It is our misfortune that this family has constantly come under attack. During the Ayub Khan -Yahya regime, during the Liberation War and after 1975, they came under attack.

“Every government has tortured them in one way or another.”
The Awami League chief also said the family was a victim of media ‘propaganda’.
Shamim and Nasim Osman’s grandfather Osman Ali was among the founding organisers of the Awami League.
The first meeting leading to the formation of Awami League was held in his home.
Their father AKM Shamsuddoha, a founder member, was a member of the first parliament.
