Bangladesh Minister hits out at Canada over sheltering Mujib’s killers

The Hindu  

Wading into the ongoing Canada-India row over Ottawa’s allegations of Indian involvement in the June 2023 murder of Khalistan Tiger Force chief Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Bangladesh has now accused Canada of sheltering “murderers”. Mr. Chowdhury is one of the key accused in the 1975 assassination of Bangladesh’s then-President Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and most of his family. Killer gets asylum Dhaka’s quest to bring Sheikh Mujib’s killers to justice has been thwarted by Canada, which granted political asylum to Mr. Chowdhury, and has refused to extradite him, mostly because he has been given the death penalty in the Mujib assassination case. Both the accused served in the diplomatic missions of Bangladesh for nearly two decades, and subsequently reached the U.S. and Canada after Sheikh Hasina, one of the two surviving daughters of Sheikh Mujib, was elected PM of Bangladesh in a landmark victory in 1996.
