Law Minister Anisul Huq on Sunday said the other fugitive murderers of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman will be brought back to execute the Supreme Court verdict.
“In this year of Bangabandhu’s birth centenary, I promise to bring other fugitive murderers back and implement the Supreme Court verdict on Bangladesh’s soil,” he said.
The Law Minister came up with the remarks in a video message from his residence after the execution of Bangabandhu’s murderer Capt (dismissed) Abdul Majed in the first hour of Sunday.
Expressing pleasure after the execution of Bangabandhu’s murderer Capt (dismissed) Abdul Majed, the minister said “We’ve fulfilled the promise we had made, even if partially, by implementing the verdict of Bangabandhu murder case.”
Implementing the verdict of Bangabandhu murder case in the year of birth centenary of Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is a matter of relief, he said.
