FM hopeful of bringing back killer Rashed Chy during 'Mujib Borsho'
Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen on Monday hoped to recreate Bangabandhu's killer Rashed Chowdhury during ‘Mujib Borsho’ who's taking shelter in america with false documents.
"He (Rashed) is a killer and a terrorist. He's a self-declared killer," he said adding a country like America shouldn't keep a criminal like Rashed Chowdhury.
The Foreign Minister said the federal government provides the five killers back to implement the court verdict no killers will be spared even they live abroad.
Dr Momen said Rashed Chowdhury provided all fake documents within immigration in 2006.
"We wish Rashed Chowdhury. We've identified his location. We realize where he is living. Process (to bring him back) has started," he said discussing his conversation with US Secretary of State.
The Foreign Minister was addressing a discussion on Father of the country Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman organized by Janatar Prottasha using its chairman M A Karim in the chair held at the Jatiya Press Club.
Dr Momen said Bangladesh has sought cooperation from all of the countries around the world to detect all of those other three fugitive convicted killers of Bangabandhu.
He said three Ministries- Foreign, Law and Home Affairs - have already been working to find the killers.
Dr Momen said the Foreign Ministry instructed all Bangladesh Missions abroad to search for the killers.
The Foreign Minister also sought support from Bangladeshi expatriates living in several countries alongside the federal government initiative to recreate the rest of the five fugitive killers of Bangabandhu.
The fugitives are: Col (dismissed) Khandaker Abdur Rashid, Lt Col (relieved) Shariful Haque Dalim, Maj (retd) Noor Chowdhury, Maj (retd) Rashed Chowdhury and Risaldar Moslehuddin Khan.
Of the fugitives, the federal government knew the whereabouts of Noor Chowdhury and Rashed Chowdhury; and it had been uncertain about the other fugitives -- Rashid, Dalim and Moslehuddin.
Noor Chowdhury is currently in Canada while Rashed Chowdhury in america.
On August 15 in 1975, the best Bangalee ever, Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman along with the majority of his members of the family was brutally assassinated.
Eighteen members of the daddy of the country's family including Bangamata Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib, three sons-Captain Sheikh Kamal, Lieutenant Sheikh Jamal and 10-year old Sheikh Russel, two daughters-in-law Sultana Kamal and Rosy Jamal, brother Sheikh Abu Naser, peasant leader Abdur Rab Serniabat, youth leader Sheikh Fazlul Haq Moni and his pregnant wife Arzu Moni, Baby Serniabat, Sukanta Babu, Arif and Abdul Nayeem Khan Rintu, among others, were also killed by the heinous killers on that fateful night.
Bangabandhu's Military Secretary Brigadier General Jamil was also murdered.
Several members of a family group died in the capital's Mohammadpur area by artillery shells fired by the killers on a single day.
On November 19, 2009, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court upheld the death penalty of 12 convicted former army officials for the assassination of Bangabandhu and his members of the family.
