“Who said what after August 15”

In the first page of your celebrated daily under the caption, “Who said what after August 15,” a comment has been attributed to my Late father Justice Abu Sayeed Chowdhury. I understand the source is a totally government-controlled newspaper of that unfortunate and traumatic time. We may well question the veracity of such a report.

On the other hand, the London Guardian published his remark which said “Ask the killers”. It went on to add that Justice Chowdhury believed only way to change a government is through constitutional means.

The circumstances under which he and others were inducted into the cabinet are all too known for repetition. To call it duress would perhaps be an understatement.
