---

Chief investigation officer for investigating crimes against humanity Abdul Matin refuted advisor to the Prime Minister Dr Alauddin Ahmed's statement and said that he was a member of Islamic Chhatra Sangha, student wing of Jamaat-e-Islami, during the country's liberation war in 1971.
"I was neither a Rajakar nor a freedom fighter. But, I served the then Pakistan government in 1971," he said.
He was briefing journalists at his chamber in the Tribunal set up in old High Court building Sunday, reports UNB.
Narrating his student career, Matin said that he never joined any student organisation or political party. In 1960 he passed the matriculation examination from Barisal district and the Intermediate in 1962.
However, he contested for the post of VP in BM College Students Union as an independent candidate in 1963. "I did not seek any nomination from any student organisation or political party," he said, adding there was no student organisation named Islamic Chhatra Sangha (ICS) in Barisal in 1963.
