 | | Rajkhowa | New Delhi, Dec. 4: Bangladesh's generosity in handing over leaders of the United Liberation Front of Asom springs from Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina's eagerness to see Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's assassins brought to justice, apart from her interest in smoothing relations with India. Delhi is expected to return the favour to Dhaka by probably sending two persons wanted in the Mujib murder case who are lodged in Tihar jail, sources said. The duo's identities are being kept under wraps though sources said their aliases could be Abud Mudib and Muslimuddin. Mujib was assassinated by a group of junior army officers on August 15, 1975. After more than two decades, 12 of them were sentenced to death. Seven, however, escaped abroad and one of them is believed dead. Two suspects are in India, having been arrested a few years ago for crimes committed here. "During interrogation it was found that they were also responsible for the murder of the Bangladeshi leader," said a source. "They (Dhaka) have been asking us to hand them over for some time now and India is considering it actively," the source added. If the duo are sent to Dhaka coinciding with Hasina's upcoming visit, it will be an apt response from India to the handover of Ulfa chairman Arabinda Rajkhowa and other leaders of the militant outfit. The gift had been held back because the Bangladesh National Party led by Khaleda Zia, which was seen as protecting the killers of Mujib, was in power in Dhaka. Besides returning the Ulfa leaders to India, Bangladesh has promised to send back Ranjan Daimary of the National Democratic Front of Bodoland and Jeevan Singh of the Kamtapur Liberation Organisation, active in north Bengal. Rajkhowa today "surrendered" with Ulfa's deputy commander-in-chief Raju Barua at the Dawki border checkpost in Meghalaya, the BSF said. The border force later handed over the Ulfa leaders and their families to Assam police who took custody of the group of 10 and took them to Guwahati via Shillong under tight security. Hours after the "surrender", Ulfa commander-in-chief Paresh Barua appealed to Rajkhowa to make his "stand" clear, honouring the sacrifice made by 12,000 "martyrs" and the hopes and aspirations of the people of the state. He claimed that Rajkhowa and Raju Barua, along with a few others, have been in the Indian government's custody since December 2, which matches the unofficial version of the "surrender". |
