UNB, Dhaka :
Gonoforum President Dr Kamal Hossain contradicted the statements made by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina
about his role following the events of August 15, 1975.
The rejoinder was issued by Dr Kamal Hossain & Associates following a UNB report published in a number of dailies on May 18 on the Prime Minister’s statement over the inactive role
of the then foreign minister, Dr Kamal Hossain, in helping Bangabandhu’s two daughters after his assassination in 1975.
The rejoinder claimed that in August 1975 Dr Kamal Hossain, as foreign minister of Bangladesh, under Bangabandhu, was on an official visit to Belgrade, Yugoslavia, where he was informed on 15 August of the assassination of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and the murder of the members of his family.
At that time, the Government of Yugoslavia discussed with him the question of asylum for Sheikh Hasina and Sheikh Rehana, the sole survivors of Bangabundhu’s family, according to the rejoinder.
