Khaleda Zia was involved in 2009 BDR mutiny: Hasina

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said Khaleda Zia was involved in the BDR mutiny.
Speaking at an event at her office Wednesday, she said the BNP chairperson left her cantonment residence some two hours before the 2009 mutiny started.
Hasina also expressed her suspicion about the role of the elder son of Khaleda son's role saying that Tarique Rahman had made more than 50 phone calls from London on that day, according to a news agency.
A mutiny by some members of the then Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) started in the Peelkhana headquarters of the border guards in Dhaka on Feb 25, 2009 and ended the following day.
She said that a lot of mysteries will be solved if inquiries are made on those phone calls.
"A lot of people as well as the BNP still talk about it. I ask them, who might have been involved with this incident? It might have been that individual, who fled from home or else why should one leave home?"
Out of the slain 57 officers, 33 were somehow related with families who support the Awami League, said Hasina.
"Ziaur Rahman awarded the perpetrators of Aug 15 by giving them jobs in embassies. The same way, who safeguarded those behind the Aug 21 grenade attack? Their characters will be revealed, if these facts are analysed.
"If you just analyse them, you will find Ziaur Rahman, his wife and son have repeatedly established and awarded killers, war criminals, rapists," the prime minister told the audience. The BNP made a mistake by not taking part in the Jan 5 polls, she said.
