Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal on Friday said that one or two killers of Bangabandhu will be brought back to the country soon.
He was inaugurating a six-day mourning program marking the 47th martyrdom anniversary of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman as the chief guest organized by Bangladesh Muktijoddha Sangsad Chittagong city and district unit.
The home minister said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, many Bangabandhu's killers have been brought back under the law. "One or two killers of Bangabandhu who are living outside the country will be brought back home soon," the minister said.
He said Bangladesh would have become a developed country even earlier if Bangabandhu had lived.
Remembering the role of Chittagong during Liberation War, the home minister said that they responded to the call of Bangabandhu with infinite courage.
"Bangabandhu's daughter rewarded them for that sacrifice. Freedom fighters are being given various opportunities including government allowances," he added.
He said Bangabandhu gave the constitution to the nation in a short time. "We will lose over 60% of freedom fighters in 10 years. But we will hold a rally to prove that the freedom fighters of Bangladesh are always alive. Bangabandhu's freedom fighters are still alive, they are ready to face any conspiracy," he said.
Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal said unarmed Bangalis fought an armed war by the call of Bangabandhu and liberated the country. Therefore, the country is home to all faiths including Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists and Christians.
"In this country, everyone will have equal rights. Many people are distorting history. Efforts were also made to erase the name of Bangabandhu. We have seen it many times.”
“I can never forget the scene when Bangabandhu was killed. I will never forget August 15," he added.
Muktijoddha Sangsad City Commander Mozaffar Ahmed presided over the function while Liberation War Affairs Minister AKM Mozammel Haque inaugurated the program.
