"The commission is being formed to unearth those who were involved with the
heinous killing ... And also to unmask the culprits who were behind the
plot," he said.

The state minister said this while distributing prize and certificates among

the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and his family members and
follow it in our own life that would be the real honor and respect to the
great leader as well."
