Time for truth
Your staff reporter wrote (National revolution day today, Nov 7): "On this day in 1975, soldiers and civilians unitedly foiled a conspiracy against independence and sovereignty of the nascent nation and freed the then army Chief Gen Ziaur Rahman from captivity in Dhaka Cantonment."
Twenty-eight years have passed since those bloody murders and mayhems all results bitter of power struggle among the various factions of Bangladesh army.
Will the staff reporter of The Daily Star enlighten the nation about the details of this 'conspiracy against the independence and sovereignty' -- and name the conspirators? Were Brig Khaled Musharraf , Col Huda and Col Haider the conspirators -- as the first phase of so-called revolution ended when these war heroes were brutally murdered? Gen Zia, Gen Khaled Musharraf and Col Taher were all heroes of the Liberation War.
