Zia to remain as a murderer, betrayer in history: Hasan

Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Tuesday said Ziaur Rahman would remain as a murderer and betrayer in the pages of history, reports BSS.
"Ziaur Rahman tainted the politics of Bangladesh and he started the trend of corruption and looting in the country's economy. Zia was one of the main perpetrators of Bangabandhu assassination. He also killed hundreds of soldiers of armed forces to cling to power. For this, Zia will remain as a murderer and betrayer in the history," he said.
The minister said this to reporters after addressing a function marking a photograph exhibition 'Bangabandhu o Rupashi Bangla Alokchithra Pradarshani o Sonmanona-2022' jointly organized by Bangladesh Photo Journalists Association (BPJA) and Shilpakala Academy at an auditorium of the academy in the city.
State Minister for Cultural Affairs KM Khalid and Director General of Shilpakala Academy Liakat Ali Lucky, among others, addressed the function.
Hasan said BNP didn't hold the trial of Zia killing. BNP was in power for two times under the leadership of Begum Khaleda Zia, but they didn't hold the trial of the killing.
