SQ Chy says he is well-known 'razakar'
Staff Correspondent
"I'm a razakar, I'm a well-known razakar," said Salauddin Quader Chowdhury, parliamentary affairs adviser to former prime minister Khaleda Zia, during his trial yesterday at a special court set up at the MP Hostel in Sher-e-Bangla Nagar.
Salahuddin, who is widely criticised for his anti-liberation role, said this while questioning the plaintiff during the hearing of a case filed against him by the Anti-corruption Commission (ACC).
Razakars collaborated with the Pakistan occupation forces during the Liberation War.
ACC Assistant Director Akhter Hamid Bhuiyan filed the case accusing him of amassing wealth worth over Tk 9.45 crore illegally and hiding information about assets worth Tk 91.42 lakh in the wealth statement submitted to ACC.
As the judge, Shamsur Nahar, asked him to withdraw his statement which had no relevance to the case, the ex-lawmaker said: "Is the word 'razakar' bad?"
Salahuddin asked around 50 questions to the plaintiff during yesterday's proceedings.
He said his wife had to submit the wealth statement in just 72 hours when he was in jail.
Salahuddin's wife and three children were present at the court.
