| 2009-05-22 | |
| Home Minister Advocate Shahara Khatun has said that national inquiry report on BDR mutiny and killing of army officers will be made public very soon. Committee chairman as well as ex secretary Anisuzzaman formally submitted the report to the home minister yesterday at her office. During handing over of the report, Anisuzzaman said that through a gazette notification the government entrusted this big inquiry to him and he worked for two and half months in this regard. "I made this report on what I saw, heard and on the basis of explanation of information but I did not resort to speculation and guesswork," he added.
Later Home Minister said they have not read the report yet and thus they are unable to say anything about this report immediately but the contents of this report will be made public soon. Many inquiry reports on criminal incidents were prepared in the past but the previous governments did not disclose those to the nation, she said, adding, "We gave word to people to publish the report and we are committed to do so." She said firstly the Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina tackled February 25 BDR mutiny and secondly she assured wives of slain army officers of bringing criminals to book. Shahara Khatun also said the trial will be started after submission of charge-sheet to the court by the CID officer who is investigating into the matter now. Although this inquiry report has nothing to do with the trial process but the CID investigating officer will be able to take help of this report by way of sharing the information herein, she said. | |
