The government will form an inquiry commission to find those who conspired to assassinate Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman by the end of December this year, Law Minister Anisul Huq told parliament on Wednesday.
He made the remark during a discussion in the House on a proposal placed by Awami League lawmaker RAM Obaidul Muktadir Chowdhury.
The law minister added that the commission would be formed between December 16 and December 31.
