Raujan ready for burial of Salauddin Quader, Faridpur grave awaits Mujahid’s remains

War criminal Salauddin Quader Chowdhury will be buried at his ancestral home at Chittagong’s Raujan, where he committed ghastly atrocities during the 1971 Liberation War.

He was hanged along with another war criminal, Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mujahid, at Dhaka Central Jail in the first hours of Sunday.
 
Police, RAB and APBn personnel were guarding the family graveyard of Chowdhury at Gohira village on Saturday night.
 
A relative of the former BNP minister said a grave was being dug for him next to his brother Saifuddin Quader Chowdhury’s.
 
Some people were seen chopping wood in front of the former parliamentarian’s house, Baitul Bilal.
 
Reports of no mishaps came in from the municipality until 9pm.
 
Local Awami League leaders, however, said they would not let Chowdhury’s body into Raujan.
  
Raujan Upazila Awami League President Shafikul Islam said that ruling party activists had positioned themselves at accesses to the municipality to prevent his mortal remains from being brought in.
 
Mujahid will be buried at a Jamaat-run madrasa in Faridpur town.
 
Faridpur Jamaat chief Abdul Tawaf said the local leaders of the party and Mujahid’s relatives had decided to bury him at Ideal Cadet Madrasa at West Khabaspur.
 
Law enforcers were deployed in the town after 8pm on Saturday.
