\u201cWe are convinced that the USA, as champion of democracy, human rights and the rule of law, shall return the (Bangabandhu\u2019s) killer to Bangladesh soon,\u201d he said.The Bangladesh envoy made the remarks while observing the National Mourning Day programme commemorating the 45th anniversary of martyrdom of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at Bangladesh embassy in Washington, D.C on Saturday, said a press release received here on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The government had traced out Bangabandhu\u2019s two out of five convicted fugitive killers \u2014 Rashed Chowdhury and Noor Chowdhury \u2014 residing in the USA and Canada respectively, while the whereabouts of other three fugitive murderers \u2014 Khandaker Abdur Rashid, Shariful Haque Dalim and Moslehuddin Khan \u2014 are yet to be ascertained.<\/p>\n

After knowing the locations of the two killers, the foreign ministry and the law ministry have been deeply engaged with the US and the Canadian authorities to bring back these two absconding murderers.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Ziauddin termed August 15 as a cruelest massacre in human history, observing that the killers not only slew an iconic leader and statesman but also tried to destroy its secular democratic state structure and extinguish the spirit and noble objectives of Bangladesh independence.<\/p>\n

He said the killers joined by the anti-liberation traitors led by General Zia seized power illegally, destroyed democracy and introduced the politics of murder, coup and conspiracies.<\/p>\n

He said the Zia regime tore the Constitution and adopted the infamous Indemnity Ordinance to block the trial of the killers and rewarded them with jobs in Bangladesh\u2019s missions abroad.<\/p>\n

The Ambassador said Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina\u2019s government scrapped the Indemnity Ordinance, began trial of the killers and executed the verdict in the Bangabandhu murder case.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt became clear to all that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was and is determined to uphold democracy and the rule of law at any cost,\u201d the Ambassador said.<\/p>\n

Amid a melancholy atmosphere, the National Mourning Day was observed at the embassy with due solemnity and dignity while the mission\u2019s employees wearing black badges offered rich tributes to the departed souls of the architect of Bangladesh\u2019s independence and members of his family brutally killed on this day in 1975.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
