Int'l probe demanded

DU CORRESPONDENT
Different political parties, teachers' organisations, student bodies and family members of Professor Humayun Azad have demanded international probe into what they said was mysterious death of the eminent linguist, writer and poet in Munich, Germany, on Thursday.
Awami League (AL) General Secretary Abdul Jalil yesterday visited the residence of Azad and said, "There must have been a deep rooted conspiracy behind the death of Azad. It is mysterious that the news of his death reached Dhaka after two days. The mystery must be unearthed."
Jalil went on, "I will request the German government to carry out an investigation into the death of the eminent writer," he said.
Recalling Azad's contribution in the fields of language and literature, Jalil said his death is an irreparable loss to the nation.
Dhaka University Teachers' Association (DUTA) President
AAMS Arefin Siddique demanded an international probe into Azad's death.
"We want to know how Azad passed away and we hope the German government will give us the information," he said while talking to this correspondent at Azad's residence.
The writer's wife Latifa Kohinoor and other family members and relatives also demanded an international investigation into his death.
Latifa alleged that 'conspirators' killed him abroad after they failed to kill him in the country.
Rashed Khan Menon, president of the Workers' Party of Bangladesh, resented that the Bangladesh embassy in Germany failed to inform Azad's family in time the news of his death.
" Islamic fanatics involved in the attack on Azad in February last might have a hand behind his death," Menon said.
Mujahidul Islam Selim, general secretary of the Communist Party of Bangladesh, said fundamentalists are attacking freethinking writers one after another as the government has not taken effective steps to check the rise of fanatic forces in the country.
He paid tributes to Azad saying he was an asset to the nation.
Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), student wing of the Awami League; Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal-backed BCL and Bangladesh Chhatra Moitree jointly demanded an international probe into the death of Azad.
