Who were involved in the assassination of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his family? They seemed to disappear suddenly. They all went and joined the underground party.
She said, if you read the newspapers of that time in our country, it will become clear who were behind it or not. All those who caused this incident were equally guilty. Yes I know many more facts. Earlier it was necessary to try the murder, I did that. Gradually those who were involved one day will also come out, that day is not too far away.
The Prime Minister said this while addressing a discussion meeting on the occasion of National Mourning Day on August 15 organized by Bangladesh Awami League on Monday (August 16). She spoke virtually from Ganobhaban. Awami League general secretary Obaidul Quader made an introductory speech at the discussion. Awami League presidium member Matia Chowdhury also discussed. Dr. Abdur Razzak, Jahangir Kabir Nanak, Abdur Rahman, Joint General Secretary Mahabub-ul-Alam Hanif and others also took part in the discussion.
The Prime Minister said it took years after independence to rebuild a devastated country. Not even a year was given there and the criticism started immediately. And there was no patience, it wasn't there, that wasn't there, it wouldn't be there, why it wasn't happening, why such things were written. Who wrote it? Who to please? Who was preparing the ground for this murder, which is called making the ground? Who did that? I know those who killed directly confessed to themselves in a BBC interview. Rashid, Farooq, said they killed. One of the reasons was that there was an attempt to isolate Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib from the people and in spite of so much propaganda, they could not remove him from the people, and because they could not remove him, they carried out this assassination. This is the reality. At that time, those who wrote criticism and those who gave speeches were making the ground as their accomplices. Remember that and then you don't have to go too far.
For the purpose of leaders, she said, to form a commission? They are making this claim and reading these things a little, a lot of things will become clear to everyone.
She said the killers have been brought to justice. Among the few fugitives now, Dalim has been in Pakistan ever since. Rashid lives in Pakistan and Libya, and sometimes Dalim travels to Kenya or other countries with a Pakistani passport. And Rashed, Noor, they are in Canada now. There is another in America. Only Mosle Uddin is found in his search, sometimes not. This is a situation. The Pakistani government has been told many times that they do not accept it or give it to him. Noor is in Canada. At one point Noor was supposed to be deported from there. The High Commissioner we had in Canada at that time was the son of the former wife of Mustaq. But he did not fulfill his role as ambassador. No action was taken to report Noor. We're trying to get him back.
She added that Noor and Kamal had worked together as Colonel Osmani's ADC during the liberation war. When gunshots had been fired in the morning of August Noor, Huda and Farooq were also there. Kamal saw Noor and said you have come to see who attacked the house. But he could not finish this and they fired immediately. Kamal was killed first. All those who caused this incident and those who prepared the ground in this way are equally guilty. Yes I know many more facts. Earlier, it was necessary to try the murder. Gradually, those who were involved one day will also come out. That day is not too far away.
