Law Adviser Dr. Asif Nazrul said that everyone has reached an agreement on the issue of protecting the sovereignty, existence, independence and dignity of Bangladesh.

He told reporters after a meeting of political parties with the chief adviser at the Foreign Service Academy on Wednesday (December 4) evening.

The Law Adviser said that all political parties in Bangladesh were present today. In this meeting, everyone reached an agreement on the issue of protecting the sovereignty, existence, independence and dignity of Bangladesh.

He said, we will remain brave, steadfast and united against any kind of propaganda and incitement. If any kind of incitement comes in the future, we will continue to make efforts to show our unity more vigorously. In the meeting, we are the entire nation united against India's propaganda, so a proposal was brought whether we can all hold a rally together or even hold a security council.

The main tone of this meeting was that we may have differences in opinions, positions and ideologies, but we are all one in protecting the country, sovereignty, and existence. The country is above all and we will never deviate from this. Dr. Asif Nazrul also said that there is no room for thinking of Bangladesh as weak, powerless, or submissive.

Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus, the chief adviser to the interim government, said, "We were able to remove the most oppressing stone from our chest through the mass uprising of students and the public. We celebrated victory. But many people do not like our freedom, our independence. Efforts are being made to reverse it in various ways. Therefore, everyone must be united to establish the current reality of the country to the world.

He said this at a meeting with political party leaders at the Foreign Service Academy in the capital on Wednesday (December 4).

The chief adviser said, Durga Puja was celebrated peacefully across the country in October. We also participated in the joy of the puja. There was no chaos anywhere. Many people did not like that either. Efforts are being made to destabilize the country anew.

He said, "The Bangladesh that we are trying to build is being covered up and the story of another Bangladesh is being written. They are doing this all the time in various forms." It is not that it is now within one country, but has spread to certain big countries.'

Those who did not like our uprising want to erase it, want to present it to the world in a new way. We have to protect Bangladesh from the terrible things that are happening here. They want to come forward to protect it. Now we all have to unite to prove them false or establish reality. This is not a matter of any particular political ideology. It is a matter of our existence as a nation,' he added.

Referring to various Indian propaganda recently about Bangladesh, the chief adviser said, they want to erase the free and independent Bangladesh that we created and go back to the previous one. They do not say with their mouths that the previous one was good, but their attitude is that the previous one was good. Their power is so great that they are able to lure people into it. Because of their fiction, people are expressing doubts about what kind of government this is.

Dr. Muhammad Yunus said, we have been telling them repeatedly that you come here, see, there are no obstacles here. But no, they are making up stories from there. Now we have to tell the world that we are one, what we have got we have got together, we did not get it because of any ideology, we did not get it by pushing, we uprooted those who were oppressing us. This has to be presented in front of everyone, so that we can all do it together. This has become a big issue on our journey to new Bangladesh; it has become a matter of existence.

Addressing the leaders of political parties, Dr. Yunus said, you all understand well. We all have to do the work together, if we all come together, a collective force is created, this collective force is the reason for sitting with you.

Earlier, from 3:30 pm, leaders of different political parties started coming to the Foreign Service Academy one by one. A 5-member delegation led by BNP Standing Committee member Dr. Khandaker Mosharraf Hossain participated.

Former Superintendent of Police (SP) Babul Akhter has been released from prison after nearly 3 years and seven months in the wife Mahmuda Khanam Mitu murder case.

On Wednesday (December 4) at 5:35 pm, he left the Chattogram Central Jail by car. However, at this time, Babul Akhtar did not talk to anyone present including the media personnel.

Earlier, the chamber court upheld the bail granted by the High Court to former Superintendent of Police (SP) Babul Akhtar in the murder case of wife Mahmuda Khanam Mitu.

Earlier, former Superintendent of Police Babul Akhtar was granted bail by the High Court on Wednesday after spending almost three years and seven months in jail. Mitu's father Mosharraf Hossain appealed to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court seeking cancellation of his bail.

On August 14, Chattogram's third additional metropolitan session judge Md. SP Babul Akhtar applied for bail in Jasim Uddin's court. Later, on August 18, the judge denied his bail.

Incidentally, on the morning of June 5, 2016, Mitu, the wife of Chittagong Superintendent of Police Babul Akhtar, was shot and hacked to death while going to drop her son in the school bus at GEC intersection in Chattogram city.

SP Babul Akhtar was transferred from Chattogram a few days before the incident. The murder took place in Chattogram immediately after he went to join the workplace in Dhaka. After three and a half years of investigation after the incident, the Police Bureau of Investigation (PBI) got the charge of investigating the case in January 2020 on the orders of the court.

Then in May 2021, PBI said that wife Mitu was killed in Babul Akhtar's 'plan'. And for this, Babul "gave three lakh taka through people" to the murderers.

Later the final report was given in Babul's case and Mitu's father filed another case. However, after Mitu's father's case failed in court, Babul's case was revived. Babul was arrested by PBI in May 2021.

On September 13, 2022, PBI submitted the charge sheet in the court in that case. Seven people including Babul were accused.

Then on October 10 of that year, the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court of Chittagong accepted the complaint.

On April 9 last year, Mitu's father, former police officer Mosharraf Hossain, testified in the case.

The case is currently under trial in the court of Chittagong Third Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge Jasim Uddin.

Of the 97 witnesses in the case, the testimony of 52 including Mitu's mother Shaheda Mosharraf has already been completed.

Babul Akhtar applied for bail in the Third Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge Court of Chattogram on August 14. When the judge refused, his lawyers approached the High Court.
