Lieutenant General (Retd.) Jahangir Alam Chowdhury, the interim government's home advisor, stated that a letter has been sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to take necessary steps to communicate with India to bring back Sheikh Hasina, who fled the country amid a mass uprising. He mentioned that her return could be facilitated under the prisoner extradition agreement.
He made these remarks on Monday (December 23) at the Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB) headquarters in Pilkhana, Dhaka, during a medal-awarding ceremony on the occasion of BGB Day.
During the event, the Home Advisor also revealed that a commission of inquiry has been formed to uncover the true reasons behind the brutal and heinous killings that occurred on February 25 and 26, 2009, at the then BDR headquarters in Pilkhana.
He said, “A seven-member investigation commission has been formed to look into the BDR mutiny incident. The Chief Advisor signed off on this on Sunday night (December 22).”
Jahangir Alam further stated that those involved in harassing freedom fighters in Cumilla would be brought under the law, adding, “We will ensure that anyone harassing freedom fighters is held accountable under the law.”
