Sayedee's certificates under probe

JS body says name, age changed illegally

Rashidul Hasan
Which one is his real name -- Mostafa Delawar Hossain, Abu Noman Md Delawar Hossain or Delawar Hossain Sayedee?
A parliamentary committee has found something pretty interesting about the Jamaat leader, now facing trial on charges of crimes against humanity committed during the Liberation War in 1971.
Sayedee, nayeb-e-ameer of Jamaat, changed his name and age on Dakhil and Alim certificates illegally in November 2008, more than five decades after he had got them.
He made the changes within just three days with the help of some corrupt officials of Madrasa Education Board.
The parliamentary body on education ministry yesterday formed a three-member sub-committee to investigate the certificate scam.
Headed by lawmaker Shaikh Abdul Wohab, the sub-committee was asked to submit its report to the main committee at its next meeting. Under the rules of procedure of parliament, a JS body is supposed to hold at
least one meeting every month.
“It has been primarily proved to the parliamentary body that Sayedee changed his age and name on the two certificates illegally. We want to unearth the whole matter,” Rashed Khan Menon, chief of the committee, said.
Talking to The Daily Star after a meeting at the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban yesterday, he said it was not clear why Sayedee needed those changes a month before the 2008parliamentary polls.
“We guess the Jamaat leader wanted to establish his name as Delawar Hossain Sayedee,” Menon, who is chief of the Workers Party of Bangladesh, added.
“Sayedee's age was 10 according to his original
Dakhil certificate. But it is unrealistic to pass in Dakhil examination [equivalent to SSC] at the age of 10,” a meetingsource said.
“On the Dakhil certificate, his name was written as Mostafa Delawar Hossain, and he changed the name to Delawar Hossam Sayedee.”
“On the Alim [equivalent to HSC] certificate, Sayedee's name was Abu Noman Md Delawar Hossain, which he replaced with Delawar Hossain Sayedee."
Sayedee applied for the changes in November 8,2008 and all the procedures were completed within just three days, Menon said.
Talking to this correspondent, Menon said the rules allowed anyone to apply for a change in name and age
within two years of obtaining certificates from the educationboards.
“But, he [Sayedee] changed his name and age 50 years after getting his certificate and he did it within just three days with the assistance of a section of dishonest officials of Madrasa Education Board.”
He said the parliamentary body had asked the subcommittee to identify the Madrasa board officials involved in the scam, how it was done and why.
Sayedee changed his name twice, claiming in his applications that his name had wrongly been put on both the certificates, Menon said.
Such a mistake is impossible, he added.
