Saleha Munir, mother of the murdered journalist Sagar Sorwar, requested the journalists to continue their protests to bring the killers of the journalist couple Sagar Sarowar and Meherun Runi to justice.
She was addressing a rally and a human chain organised by the Bangladesh Federal Union of Journalists (BFUJ) and the Dhaka Journalists Union on Tuesday at the national press club marking the two years of the notorious killing of the couple.
Sagar's mother said, "I cannot tell you what a helpless life I am leading after losing my only son. I don't want any wealth. All I want is justice."
She also spoke at a memorial meeting arranged by Dhaka Reporter's Unity, demanding the justice of the murder. She said that she had not prayed for salvation of her son and daughter-in-law as she was waiting for the justice.
The journalists also vowed to agitate the road until justice is served to the victims' family.
BFUJ leader Monjurul Ahsan Bulbul said that it was a shame on the part of the government that it could not find out the killers and put them through exemplary punishment.
Leaders BFUJ and DUJ also spoke at the rally.
Meanwhile, in a separate press briefing held at Secretariat on Tuesday information minister Hasanul Haq Inu expressed his regret for the government's failure to unmask the killers of Sagar and Runi although two years have already passed.
The minister assured the attending journalists that he would request the home minister to boost the investigation process for this case.
Sagar, a news editor at private TV channel Maasranga, and his wife Runi, a senior reporter at ATN Bangla, were murdered at their West Rajabazar residence in the capital on 11 February 2012.
