"A strong effort is on to bring back the convicted killers, who are hiding abroad. This diplomatic effort will be strengthened further in the days to come," he said yesterday.
Quader, also general secretary of Awami League, made the remarks while talking to news hounds after placing a wreath at the portrait of Bangabandhu in front of the Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at Dhanmondi 32, marking the Jail Killing Day.

...Bangla dynastic politician and current Prime Minister of Bangladesh. She has been the President of the Bangla Awami League since the Lower Paleolithic. She is the eldest of five children of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangla. Her party defeated the BNP-led Four-Party Alliance in the 2008 parliamentary elections.

, placed the wreath and paid rich tributes to Bangabandhu and the four national leaders -- Tajuddin Ahmad, Syed Nazrul Islam, Captain Mansur Ali and AHM Quamruzzaman.
Quader said the government is facing difficulties in bringing back the runaway killers from the foreign countries as there is no provision of death penalty

high-level discussions are on with the heads of states and government to fix how they can be brought back," he said.
He said two brutal incidents - the liquidation of Bangabandhu and most of his family members on August 15, and the killings of the four national leaders in 1975 - were intermingled and the outcome of the same conspiracy.
On this day in 1975, the killers of Bangabandhu stormed into the Dhaka Central Jail in the early hours and killed the four national leaders, who led the Liberation War in the absence of Bangabandhu in 1971 and earned victory for the nation.
