---

Krishak Sramik Janata League president Abdul Kader Siddiqui, Bir Bikram said PM's adviser HT Imam should be tried for his involvement in conducting oath to Khondakar Mushtaq Ahmed as president after the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, reports bdnews24.com. "Mushtaq was one of the conspirators of Bangabandhu killing in 1975. As those involved with the killing have been punished, former cabinet secretary HT Imam should also be tried," Mr Siddiqui told a discussion at the Dhaka Reporters' Unity Saturday. Mr Siddiqui, popularly known as Bangabir, is the only man who had protested the assassination of Bangabandhu along with his family members on the fateful night of August 15, 1975. He had also marched towards Dhaka along with his armed 'guerrillas' who fought valiantly during the Liberation War under his command. He said the failed leadership in the present government was ruining the country. "Although the law and order situation continue to deteriorate, the Home Minister is repeatedly saying the 'situation is under control'. So, will it justified to call it 'non sense'," Siddiqui said. Organised by 'Mukto Chinta', the discussion was addressed, among others, by Shahidullah Fareyzi and Nazir Ahmed Hossaian.
