Birshrestho Muktijoddha Projanmo Sangrami Oikya Parishad (BMPSOP) paid its rich tribute to four national leaders, who were killed inside the Dhaka Central Jail (old) on November 3 in 1975. In a joint statement on Friday, marking the Jail Killing Day, central BMPSOP President SM Golam Mostafa Kamal and Senior Joint General Secretary Mohammad Masudul Hasan Masud termed the killing as a conspiracy not only against the country’s independence but also against the country. Recalling the great contribution of the four national leaders-Syed Nazrul Islam, Tajuddin Ahmed, Captain Mansur Ali and AHM Qamruzzaman-they said that the conspirators tried to make the nation free of leadership thorough killing them. The BMPSOP leaders called upon countrymen to foil any conspiracy to be hatched by the conspirators against the country’s war of liberation and democracy.
