BNP’s founder, former president Ziaur Rahman’s ‘Bir-Uttam’ title is being canceled. It has been decided to cancel the title of Ziaur Rahman for violating the constitution, helping the confessed killers of Bangabandhu to leave the country and appointing them to important posts. At the same time, it has been decided to cancel the titles of the confessed killers of Bangabandhu Shariful Haque Dalim, ABMH Nur Chowdhury, Rashed Chowdhury and Mosleh Uddin aka Moslem Uddin.
The High Court had issued an order late last year suspending the titles of four fugitive killers convicted in the Bangabandhu murder case. The decision was made at a meeting of the National Council of Freedom Fighters (Jamuka) chaired by the Minister of Liberation War Affairs, AQM Mozammel Haque, on Tuesday. The BNP reacted angrily to this decision. Many others also say that the matter is logical.
Managing Director of Jamuka. Zahurul Islam Rohel said the meeting decided on the five titles after detailed discussions. Now it will go to the Ministry of Liberation War, the ministry will make the final decision, including the cancellation of the bulletin. If the title is revoked, they and their family members will no longer receive any state benefits for their contribution to the liberation war.
Liberation War Affairs Minister AQM Mozammel Haque justified the government’s decision yesterday, saying that Khandaker Mushtaq, Ziaur Rahman and many others were involved in the murder of Bangabandhu. This decision is not political. There are many cases in the world in which honorary titles have been revoked for such acts. He answered a question from reporters at a function in Kaliakair on Wednesday.
The Liberation War Minister said a subcommittee has been formed to present at the next meeting who played what role in Bangabandhu’s assassination and what documentary evidence there is. Others involved in the murder of Bangabandhu who have honorary titles will be canceled.
Meanwhile, Law Minister Anisul Haque said there were no legal complications in the cancellation of Ziaur Rahman’s Bir-Uttam title. He told reporters after receiving the corona vaccine at Kurmitola General Hospital yesterday afternoon: “If someone is a freedom fighter, it is normal for him to have the title of freedom fighter.” But if the freedom fighter happens to have ruined the spirit of the liberation war by using his name, then does he have any right to the title?
The BNP has expressed its anger at the decision to cancel Ziaur Rahman’s ‘Bir-Uttam’ title. The party’s general secretary, Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir, said the decision was a “disgrace to the liberation war.” “I believe that the decision of the National Council of Freedom Fighters to cancel the title is completely politically vindictive. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman’s government after independence gave him the title, ”Fakhrul told reporters by phone. He is currently in Singapore for treatment.
The BNP standing committee member said that the cancellation of Ziaur Rahman’s title was tantamount to denying the liberation war. Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain. He said that Ziaur Rahman was the commander of the sector. Among the surviving freedom fighters after independence, he obtained the highest title of ‘Bir-Uttam’. Now, 50 years later, if the government decides to cancel it, it will be an extreme insult to the liberation war and freedom fighters. “We don’t know the matter yet,” Musharraf said. However, if the government makes such a decision, it will be an extreme insult to the liberation war and the freedom fighters. The people of the country will not accept such a decision. No matter how hard they try to erase the title, it will never be possible to erase Zia from people’s minds.
The BNP organized a protest procession in the capital yesterday afternoon to protest the decision to cancel Ziaur Rahman’s War of Liberation title. The procession was led by BNP Deputy Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi and party President and Deputy Secretary General Habib-un-Nabi Khan Sohel of Dhaka Metropolitan South BNP. The procession started in front of the party office in Nayapaltan, went around at Nightingale and ended with a small demonstration in front of the party office in Nayapaltan. Rizvi said that with this decision the government is trying to push the country towards a civil war.
However, the sector commander, KM Shafiullah, welcomed the government’s decision. “Ziaur Rahman was my batch mate,” he told Kaler Kantha. But I did not see anything of his great contribution in the liberation war. On the contrary, when I declared rebellion against Pakistan on March 13, 1971, Ziaur Rahman was heading to the port of Chittagong to disarm the Pakistani forces. I didn’t like his role during the war. It was not fair to get his title. Other than that, his role after August 15 was also disgusting. He was a partner of Khandaker Mushtaq.
Afsan Chowdhury, a liberation war researcher, told Kaler Kantha in this regard: “The issue of canceling the title of Ziaur Rahman is a political decision of the government. This decision is not made for any reason of the liberation war. It has nothing to do with the liberation war. There is nothing to say about it. There is more politics in the country than history ”.
PLD Chairman Colonel (Retired) Dr. In response, Oli Ahmed said: “If Ziaur Rahman’s title is canceled, the freedom fighters will not accept it.” On the contrary, if the government changes in the future, Ziaur Rahman will receive the title of Bir Shrestha. Addressing the government, he said: “Do not touch the fire. The country did not become independent with a stick. So there is no possibility of underestimating the contribution of then-Major Ziaur Rahman.
JSD President ASM Abdur Rob said in a statement to the media: “Those who have played a unique role in the liberation war by embracing death for patriotism and have won state titles for heroic deeds to achieve independence, the revocation of their titles or medals does not glorify the liberation war. ” No vindictive decision can abolish “historical justice.” Judging the glorious achievements of the past in the current context in no way guarantees justice and is not morally acceptable. “
State Minister for Maritime Transport Khalid Mahmud Chowdhury said the decision to cancel Ziaur Rahman’s “Bir-Uttam” title was “timely”. “I am grateful to the Liberation War Ministry,” Khalid Mahmud told a press conference at the National Press Club. This step of acting against those who have tarnished the liberation war, murdered the freedom fighters, rehabilitated the criminals is a timely decision. Of course, 160 million people in the spirit of the Bangladesh liberation war will support it.
