Musa Ibrahim not in Everest climbers\\\' list

Sunday, 30 March 2014


An official Nepali publication, listing those who climbed Mount Everest, has left out Musa Ibrahim, who claims to be the first from Bangladesh to have conquered the world’s highest peak. The publication, ‘Nepal Parbat’ is brought out by the country’s tourism ministry and the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA). Many in Bangladesh have already contested Musa Ibrahim’s claim. Private TV channel Ekattor ran a report on Saturday based on ‘Nepal Parbat’ publication that left out Ibrahim from the list who climbed Mt Everest of the Himalayas. A Dhaka court is hearing a case over Ibrahim’s claim. ‘Nepal Parbat’ however, said MA Muhith and Nishat Majumder were the first male and female from Bangladesh to have climbed Mt Everest successfully. Ibrahim claimed to have scaled Mt Everest in 2010 and had provided ‘evidence’ to support his claim, according to bdnews24.com.
