Even after 500 years, if a researcher does research, he will not find the slightest error. If there is an error then the question may arise. I have been patiently waiting for 21 years to start the case so that none of these defects remain. Then I waited 14 years to finish the case. There is nothing wrong with the verdict in this case.He made the remarks at a virtual discussion meeting in memory of all the martyrs including Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and Bangamata Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib on Tuesday (August 25) night on the occasion of National Mourning Day organized by Bangladesh Awami Juba League.

In addition, as discussants, the former governor of Bangladesh Bank economist. Mohammad Farasuddin, Industries Minister Nurul Majid Mahmud Humayun, Law Minister Anisul Haque, Bangladesh Awami Juba League Chairman Sheikh Fazle Shams Parash. Mainul Hossain Khan Nikhil, General Secretary of Bangladesh Awami Juba League conducted the program.
The law minister said the trial of the murder of Bangabandhu and his family has been held in the general court. The killers had the opportunity to appeal to those who were in the country. The accused have enjoyed all their rights. The case was concluded with all the rights that an accused has.
He said three of the killers testified under section 164. In proportion to the information in their statements, I can say that not only were they involved in the killings, but many were also involved. Ziaur Rahman is one of the people behind this.
The law minister further said that Ziaur Rahman first encouraged the killers Colonel Rashid, Colonel Farooq, Colonel Shahriar, Major Dalim, they said in their statements. When they first went to talk to him, they told him about the murder and Ziaur Rahman did not fire them. That means encouraging them indirectly. When the incident took place, he met Colonel Rashid and Colonel Farooq Ziaur Rahman. Then when Safayet Jamil and Khaled Musharraf went to his house to meet Ziaur Rahman, they said that the president had been assassinated, so what, there is vice president. Who became the president in six months after giving the vice president? It is clear that the person who has become the President after these 6 months was not only the main beneficiary of this assassination but he had also played a major role in this assassination. Ziaur Rahman was involved in the murder. I have a record. The then Chief Prosecutor of the case Advocate Sirajul Haque, during his argument, said in full that Ziaur Rahman was involved in the attack, Ziaur Rahman was involved in the murder. He should be punished.
The program was broadcast live on the official Facebook page and YouTube channel of Bangladesh Awami League.
