India has agreed to extradite Nur Hossain, the prime accused in the sevenmurder in Narayanganj, Foreign Minister Abul Hassan Mahmood Ali told parliament yesterday.
Responding to lawmakers' queries, he said the issue was raised during the recent visit of Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj to Dhaka.
"During a meeting with her, we sought Nur Hossain's deportation... she agreed to extradite him," mentioned the minister.
Dhaka, he said, will now send a letter to Delhi requesting it to send back the arrestee.
Replying to another query by a legislator, the minister said 28 diplomats have been working under the ministry on contractual basis.
West Bengal police arrested Nur Hossain along with two of his accomplices from an apartment in Kolkata on June 14. Earlier, Narayanganj police had sought Interpol's help to nab the accused.
On April 27, seven people, including Narayanganj panel mayor Nazrul Islam and senior lawyer Chandan Kumar Sarkar, were abducted in Narayanganj.
Later, their decomposed bodies were recovered from the Shitalakkhya on April 30 and May 1.
A councillor of Narayanganj City Corporation, Nur Hossain was a close aide to controversial lawmaker Shamim Osman of the rulingAwami League. MEETINGS WITH MYANMAR The minister informed the House that the eighth foreign office consultant meeting between Bangladesh and Myanmar will be held in Dhaka next month to discuss bilateral issues.
Besides, a joint trade commission meeting between the two neighbours is due in Dhaka at the end of this year and
a joint border meeting is slated for September in Myanmar, he added.
LEASE OF AFRICAN LAND
Mahmood Ali said so far only one Bangladeshi company, Vhati Bangla, took lease of land in Zambia and is producing rice, wheat, fish, vegetables and fruits there.
Some other Bangladeshi farms are also trying to take lease of farmland in other African countries.
"But notable success could not be achieved in this regard due to the foreign exchange regulation act of Bangladesh Bank. As per the act, investors can only take $5,000 to those countries. But lakhs of dollars are needed to take lease of land there and cultivate it," he mentioned.
He called upon the finance minister to amend the rules so that investors can take necessary amount of money there, which in turn would ensure Bangladesh's food security as well as create new employmentopportunities.
