Police asked to withdraw textbook for 'distorting history'

Star Online Report
The High Court directed the inspector general of police on Sunday to withdraw a textbook from markets, libraries, students and individuals in 15 days as it stated Ziaur Rahman as declarer of the country's independence,.
It also asked the IGP to immediately stop publication of the textbook named 'Pragati Nimno Madhyamik Bangla Byakaron o Rochona'.
The book published for Class VII and VIII students stated that patriot Maj Gen Ziaur Rahman declared the country's independence from Chittagong Betar Kendra on March 26, 1971.
In another page of the book, it has been written that Ziaur Rahman declared independence of the country on behalf of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on March 27 on the same year from Kalurghat Betar Kendra (radio centre) in Chittagong.
The HC on Sunday also summoned Ratan Siddique, writer of the book, and four others to appear before it on Thursday to explain why they have named Ziaur Rahman as the declarer of independence.
The four others are: The chairman of National Curriculum and Textbook Board, publisher of the book Md Tofazzal Hossain and co-editors Dr Shahid Uddin Ahmed and Dr Mohammad Abdul Jalil.
The HC bench of Justice AHM Shamsuddin Chowdhury Manik and Justice Jahangir Hossain Salim came up with the order following a writ petition filed on Sunday by Anamul Haque, a freedom fighter, citing that the history of the country's independence has been distorted by the statements.
