There is no fear of Sheikh Hasina's life from me: Col. Farhad

Daily Ittefaq, 13th August, 1989
Friedam Party Chairman Colonel (Retd) Faruq said at a press conference in the evening yesterday (Saturday) that the Freedom Party does not know anything about the attack on the number 32 house. At least there is no fear of losing Sheikh Hasina. She advised Sheikh Hasina to quit politics and enjoy saving her father's savings from her childhood. She said, if Sheikh Hasina has lived for a long time, she can understand that how many of her family have destroyed this country and the nation.

Freedom Party Chief Coordinator Chowdhury Faruque and party's political adviser Mia Abdur Rashid were present at the press conference of about half a dozen journalists at the residence of Banani Defense Officers Housing Society. Colonel (Retired) Syed Faruk Rahman said in response to the question and asked the Prime Minister, Sheikh Hasina herself to revive the political 'hala-globa', or to persistently engage in politics, or reflection of the intrigue of Awami League on November 11, The incident has happened. He identified it as a "fazle and childish" attack. He said, rather some people had crossed the border taking responsibility for killing me.

He said what was to be done in 32 numbers, it was done on 15th August. Now we are not interested in taking this. His idea was that the Freedom party was drawn to the incident of 32 numbers, probably for the purpose of creating an excuse. Its purpose is to create a political unstable creation in the country.

Referring to Sheikh Hasina as an international and regional agent of neo colonialism and imperialism, Colonel (Retd) Faruk said that within a month of coming to this woman, Ziaur Rahman was killed by the Atatei. When the leader of the coup was arrested, he was arrested by the BDR in the eastern border. Democratic League rally killed 14 people including journalists. Referring to the assassination of 32 people of Shibir and 4 of Jamaat, 15-20 of BNP and its organizers, 5 coordinators of Freedom Party, she said that Hasina and her 'Dalal' are the same as fascist terrorism, killing, hijacking methods, like their father and their 'brokers' The introduction has continued. Its purpose is to make Bangladesh a slave of foreigners by eliminating political stability in Bangladesh. He said: But we can say, as far as the differences are concerned, the people of Bangladesh do not want to slave. 11 day night strike and the next day ' Describing the vandalism of the country's property as 'pre-planned', he said, the reaction of the incident was proven to be so quick and violent, the aim of this incident, aims and methods came from outside the border. She said, Sheikh Hasina and her agents 'fifth army' They have another branch of 'Shanti Bahini' and 'Bangabhabi' Wallah. He explained that he did not understand all the Awami League people in the 'Dalal' of Hasina.

Colonel Faruq said that Sheikh Hasina has the 'agency' of the Soviet Union, it is known to all. Recently, according to a US agency, he knows how successful he has been traveling to the United States, he knows. But the United States once liable for the death of his father.

He said, however, we believe that there is a danger of injury to Sheikh Hasina's life. Sheikh Hasina has become a liability for her political companions and masters. That's why Sheikh Hasina is desperate. Before Rajiv's possible defeat, he wanted to prepare the field of foreign intervention in Bangladesh. Taking the false allegation of communal falsehood in Bangladesh, starting from a false statement in Kolkata, the incidental event of the attack on the 32nd position is dedicated to the same purpose. She said, "Rather, my good advice to her is to quit politics: enjoy your father's treasured treasure, which has been released from the sweatband, with the help of breaks." - When asked about this comment by Colonel Farooq, he said, verify the truthfulness of this incident to the government. We know After 1981, on the basis of the support and support letters of two powerful international figures, the accumulated treasure of 300 million US dollars was transferred. Sheikh Hasina is not alone, her family has received this wealth. While referring to the possibility of the government's hand in this incident as "weak", Colonel Faruq said that the government could not chastise him when the politics came down to Himang.

Question: Who put the sticker on the "Rescue the Fifth Force" on the wall containing photographs of Awami League and Sheikh Mujib who called on August 15 to observe?
Answer: Freedom to the fifth army Freedom party has a name on the sticker. They tear our posters. Poster flip poster is common in the country's politics.

Question: If the number of names of the freedom fighters were published by the attackers in the name of Babrietakhi, the names of those who attacked each other during the attack on the number 32?
Answer: Some of the names of the regional coordinator Farooq Reza, who are in the office of Freedom Party, have been given on paper. It is unbelievable to send anyone to lead the party's central leadership level. He said, I know, some people have crossed the border in the next few days. In the hands of Allah. Allah Taala also organized conspiracy theversion.

Q: What is the program to celebrate August 15th?
Answer: It's past history. August 15 is important, it also provides foundation. But after taking the theoretical responsibility of determining the work of the party, I have decided that future positive action and goals will grow bigger. On 15th August, partial freedom was given. Now citizens need economic-social-political expansion.


At one stage of the version published in the daily Bengali, Farooq is addressing Sheikh Hasina as a terrorist. Today's verdict is an answer to these arrogance.

The first general diary was made in the attack, but later it was turned into a case. Although the case was weak, the three accused in the case filed the confessional statement under section 164 to the court. As a result, 11 people have been sentenced to 10 years imprisonment for two years in 12 cases of attempt to kill Sheikh Hasina. The accused will have to be fishermen for 20 years.

The jail has been fined Tk 20,000 along with the imprisonment, which will remain in prison for six months in prison. Period of imprisonment will be removed from prison for the term. How long will the sentence be awarded to the convicts who have not given any media reports?

Another accused in the case Humayun Kabir (Kabir) has been acquitted. Among the convicts, Rashid, Zafar and Humayun Kabir (Humayun) are absconding. The verdict was pronounced in absence of Shajahan Balur Ghorajee, who was on bail. On bail, Mizan, Imam Hossain, was present in the court for Kajol Rai. Mamun, Sohel, Murad and Judge Mia were also present in the prison. [1]

This case once went to the Himalayas during the autocratic time. The second time this case went to the snow-stricken hands of BNP-Jamaat. The verdict is 10,306 days from the day of the attack. In the case of stumbling twice, the working day was 66 days. From this there is a sense of how and how long the trial of the country's political terrorism is available.
