Fazle Noor Taposh, son of slain Shekh Fazlul Haque Moni, said he received the 'best birthday gift' on Supreme Court confirming Thursday the death sentence of the killers of his father.
"My parents could not celebrate my birthday on Nov 19, 1975. Today, I have got my best birthday gift," an emotional Taposh, who is also one of the lawyers of the state panel in Bangabandhu murder case, told a press briefing.
Toposh's mother Arzu Moni was among those killed on Aug 15, 1975. His father was the nephew of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.
"The Supreme Court has pronounced the landmark verdict today. We had to struggle 34 years for the trial of the killing.
"His soul (Bangabandhu) will get peace today.
"Today's verdict has proved that the rule of law is being established in Bangladesh," Taposh said.
