Liberation War Affairs Minister AKM Mozammel Haque said today that although Ziaur Rahman, the founder of BNP, was a freedom fighter, he was also a killer of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
He made the remark at Akhaura international immigration check-post in Brahmanbaria, while travelling to Agartala, the capital of India’s Tripura state.
“It is true that Ziaur Rahman was a freedom fighter. It is also true that he was a killer of Bangabandhu. Khaleda Zia has always tried to make the Liberation War controversial,” he told journalists.
