Bangladeshi UNMIL Troops Decorated with UN Medals The Head of the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL), Ambassador Jacques Paul Klein has awarded UN service medals to the Bangladeshi contingent following a year of dedicated service in Liberia. Ambassador Klein said "Bangladesh, although a relatively new country, enjoys the distinction of contributing the largest number of peacekeepers to the United Nations," a tradition that began in 1988 with the deployment of 31 Military Observers to UNIMOG on the border of Iran and Iraq. Bangladeshi troops have the double honor of being the largest troop-contributing nation both in Liberia and in the world, with 3,200 in Liberia and approximately 8,209 world-wide. The Contingent Commander of the Bangladeshi troops serving in UNMIL, B/Gen. Mollah Fazle Akbar, pledged his country's commitment to the attainment of global peace as long as the country remains a member of the United Nations. allafrica.com 8 Dec 04

Mukti Joddhas hail Indian sacrifice Bangladesh’s first chief of army staff, Major General K M Safiullah, fears that the very enemy that the Mukti Joddhas (freedom fighters) defeated in the 1971 Liberation War are back, and in control. "The defeated force (Pakistan) has re-organised and is exacting revenge. The administration is already in its grip. They are bent on distorting history and fanning anti-India sentiment. This is an extremely unfortunate development because Bangladesh would not have achieved independence without India’s help,"an anguished Saifullah said. A sector commander in the Liberation War, Saifullah is a Bir Uttam awardee, Bangladesh’s second-highest gallantry award. timesofindia.inditimes.com 15 Dec 05
Govt decides to bury Matiur's remains in Dhaka Cant In total disregard to Birshreshtha Matiur Rahman's family members' plea for burying the mortal remains of the gallant war hero at a public place the government yesterday decided to bury the remains on the Air Force Headquarters premises in Dhaka Cantonment. An inter-ministerial meeting at the Ministry of Liberation War Affairs took the decision of flying in the mortal remains of Matiur from Pakistan soon and bury near the Air Force HQ Mosque. Earlier at a press conference in the city on April 8, family members of the national hero hoped the remains of Matiur would be received with due state honour and buried at a place where the nation could pay tribute. Daughter of Matiur Rahman, one of the seven highest gallantry award winners of Bangladesh, Tuhin Matiur Haider, is scheduled to come to Bangladesh from South Carolina, United States tomorrow morning to spearhead public demand for burring her father's remains at an open public place instead of a restricted area. thedailystar.net 18 Apr 06

Bengali hero's remains given back Pakistan has agreed to hand over to Bangladesh the remains of a Bengali air force officer after 35 years. Flight Lieutenant M Matiur Rehman, now a decorated war hero in Bangladesh, died in August 1971. He was killed while trying to fly away with a Pakistan air force jet, just before Bangladesh's independence.Rehman was a flight lieutenant in the Pakistani air force when he attempted to hijack a jet aircraft during a training flight. Pakistan has always maintained that the trainee pilot, Rashid Minhas, prevented the attempted hijacking, which resulted in the aircraft crashing shortly before leaving Pakistani airspace on 20 August, 1971. Both Rehman and Minhas were killed. Minhas was immediately decorated with Pakistan's highest gallantry award, the Nishan-e-Haider, and Rehman declared a traitor. But as East Pakistan became Bangladesh in December 1971, the newly independent state declared Rehman as one of its war heroes. He was decorated with Bangladesh's highest military honour - the Bir Sreshtho. news.bbc.co.uk 20 Apr 06 |
