Md Momtaz Uddin, former secretary of the Supreme Court lawyer’s association, posted the letters to his mother BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s office on Wednesday.
The letter threatened Rahman with legal action if he did not withdraw his remarks and apologise to the nation within seven days.
“You are not a matured politician and also have no knowledge of history even though you are the BNP’s senior vice chairman,” the letter said.
Speaking at a programme in London on Tuesday, Tarique claimed that it would not have taken nine months to defeat the Pakistani forces, if Sheikh Mujibur Rahman had started the war on Mar 7, 1971 with the help of the Bangalee army officers.
According to him, the "small number" of Pakistani soldiers then present in Bangladesh could have been easily defeated and the death toll and economic damage "could have been much less".
"After knowing all this, who can we solely blame? Sheikh Mujib. And we have called him a 'Razakar' after analysing the facts. We have labelled him as Pakbandhu (friend of Pakistan) on the basis of actual incidents."
The legal notice says that the BNP leader distorted history and committed a ‘heinous act’.
Tarique, who is living in London since 2008, had been stirring up controversy over Bangladesh’s founding father for quite some time.
Several libel suits have been filed in different courts across Bangladesh over his statements.
On Dec 10, a Dhaka court had issued a warrant for his arrest in one such case.
