The Bangladesh Law Minister Anisul Haque said on Thursday said Ziaur Rahman was involved in the assassination of Bangabandhu and the evidence on it will be made public.
“The evidence of Ziaur Rahman’s involvement in the assassination will be made public through a commission,” the minister said.
He made the remarks while talking to reporters at his Gulshan residence.
The minister said Ziaur Rahman was not charged with the murder when the case was investigated because he was dead at the time and there is no provision to accuse a deceased of murder.
A commission will, however, be formed to find the masterminds of Bangabandhu’s assassination and the evidence of Zia’s involvement would be brought in front of the nation through it, Anisul Haque said.
“The government is firm in bringing back the fugitive killers of Bangabandhu and executing the court’s verdict. The process is underway but I won’t discuss it as it may hamper things,” the minister added.
Replying to a question whether Muslim Uddin, the fugitive killer of Bangabandhu, is hiding in disguise in India, the minister said,” So far, we haven’t found anything like that despite crosschecking with multiple sources.”
