Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Wednesday said the respect to the August 15 martyrs will be meaningful if the masterminds of the brutal carnage are unmasked and exposed to justice.
"The honour to the soul of Shaheed Sheikh Russel and other August 15 martyrs will be meaningful when the masterminds of the carnage including BNP’s founder Ziaur Rahman will be unmasked before the nation,” he said.
The minister told reporters after paying homage to Shaheed Sheikh Russel and other August 15 martyrs by placing a wreath at Banani graveyard here coinciding with the 60th birthday of Bangabandhu's youngest son Sheikh Russel.
The 60th birthday of Sheikh Russel, a student of class four at University Laboratory School, was observed on Wednesday as the Sheikh Russel Day.
Russel, also the youngest brother of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, was born on October 18 in 1964 at the historic Bangabandhu Bhaban on Dhanmondi road number 32 in the capital.
Dr Hasan, also Awami League joint general secretary, prayed for eternal peace for the departed souls of all martyred in the August 15 carnage.
The minister said innocent Sheikh Russel didn't know politics when he was killed brutally along with Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and most of his family members.
