Liberation War Affairs Minister AKM Mozammel Haque said an application has been made to the Speaker to remove all structures, including ex-president Ziaur Rahman’s mausoleum, from the premises of the Parliament Bhaban.

The minister came up with the assertion while addressing a discussion program at the Institution of Diploma Engineers Bangladesh (IDEB) building in the capital on Saturday (August 28).

He said that hopefully the parliament building will be brought to its main design removing all illegal structures from the area.

Mozammel Haque said, the body of Ziaur Rahman is not present in Chandrima Udyan mausoleum. His body was “cremated” after he was killed. If there is Ziaur Rahman’s body, BNP can prove it by DNA test.

“By killing Bangabandhu, killers wanted to make the country a failed state. But, they could not do that. The killers thought that everything will be ended if they can kill Bangabandhu,” the minister added.
