ICT counsel Tipu resents inclusion of his name in Razakars’ list
Bangladesh
International Crimes Tribunal counsel Ghulam Arif Tipu has expressed resentment over inclusion of his name in the recently published list of Razakars.
"I hope the Liberation War Affairs Ministry will rectify the list before publishing a gazette notification," he said at a press briefing today.
Earlier in the day, hours after the Liberation War Affairs minister claimed that the ministry published the Razakars' list as provided by the home ministry, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal said his ministry had sent a note on corrections to the list but it was not followed accordingly.
Names of five people, including International Crimes Tribunal counsel Ghulam Arif Tipu, are on the list of Razakars.
The other such people on the list are advocate Mohsin Ali, advocate Abdus Salam, former deputy commissioner Abdur Rauf and police official SS Abu Talib.
On December 15, the Ministry of Liberation War Affairs published the names of 10,789 Razakars who had collaborated with the Pakistani occupation forces during the 1971 Liberation War and committed crimes against humanity.
