Killers were even afraid of Bangabandhu's shadow: Hasan

Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Saturday said the 1975 assassins killed most of the Father of the Nation's family members including emerging youth Sheikh Kamal as they were afraid of not only Bangabandhu, but even his shadow, reports BSS.

"The killers of August 15, 1975 got afraid of not only Bangabandhu, but even his shadow. So they assassinated Father of the Nation's family members they found including intelligent youth Sheikh Kamal at that fateful night," he said.

Hasan, also Awami League (AL) Joint General Secretary, was speaking to the newsmen after paying floral tributes at the city's Banani grave of Bangabandhu's eldest son Sheikh Kamal on his 74th birth anniversary.

He said if Sheikh Kamal wasn't brutally murdered that day, he could contribute to the nation in many ways.
