| 2009-10-12 | |
| [Bangla Daily Star] Holding trial of all Razakars (local collaborators of Pakistan occupation forces during the Liberation War) is under government consideration, and a complete list of them will be prepared at a convenient time, the state minister for liberation war affairs informed the House yesterday. Replying to lawmakers' queries, ABM Tajul Islam also said a list of Razakars was prepared during the war. "We have received part of the list. We will now prepare a complete list of Razakars and Al Badr members," the state minister said.
Tajul Islam said the government has planned to build a replica of boat at the Shishu Park at Shahbagh in the capital so that people get a scope to know the history of the Liberation War. "Bangabandhu (Sheikh Mujibur Rahman) delivered the historic March 7 speech from a dais built on a boat at the site where the Shishu Park was set up later," he said. The state minister said the then military ruler Ziaur Rahman set up the park at the historic place to destroy the history of the Liberation War. "The prime minister has instructed us not to demolish the Shishu Park since it has become a place for children's amusement. We will develop the park and also build a replica of boat," he said. | |
