Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) President Colonel (Retd.) Dr. Oli Ahmed has alleged that Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Awami League leader Sajeda Chowdhury were detained at the Akhaura border while attempting to flee Bangladesh following the assassination of President Ziaur Rahman. In a recent television interview, he claimed Hasina had earlier received training in India after returning from Germany, and that former military ruler Hussain Muhammad Ershad was also involved in Zia’s killing. Oli Ahmed further stated that Zia had no role in the execution of Colonel Taher and criticized India’s interference in Bangladesh’s internal affairs, asserting that the country fought for independence to be self-governed, not to become subservient to any foreign power.
