Fifty years ago today, on August 15, 1975 (July 9, 1975 in the lunar calendar), the entire family of Bangladeshi father Mujib was killed. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman On August 15, 1975, at dawn, there was silence around the presidential residence on the outskirts of Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. Suddenly, several Soviet-made tanks drove out from the Dhaka barracks and roared towards the presidential palace. The loud sound could be heard for miles away. This was a security measure originally planned for the president's speech at Dhaka University on August 16. Because for some time, students from Dhaka University have taken the lead in striking classes and making trouble, putting up slogans on the streets, opposing President Mujib's pro-India and pro-Soviet foreign policies, and resolutely demanding severe punishment of corrupt officials. President Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, once regarded as the "father of the country" of Bangladesh, has been weak in governing the country and his prestige has been declining day by day since he officially took office in January 1972. Recently, the rising student trend has made him uneasy. In order to calm the student tide and stabilize the political situation, Mujib, who usually lives in seclusion, decided to go to the school in person. A week ago, relevant departments had assigned the Tank Regiment stationed in the capital to be responsible for the President's security work, and the President's guards were all replaced by Tank Regiment personnel. However, as these tanks approached the presidential residence, the first tank fired a shell into the courtyard, shocking the sleeping President Mujibur until he was dizzy. He climbed up, grabbed the phone, and asked the intelligence director what happened. Before he finished speaking, there was another loud noise and the second shell exploded in the yard. Mujibu's body was covered with dust. He realized that things were not good and grabbed the phone and ordered Army Chief of Staff Shafiulla to quickly send troops to defend it. "Dong, dong, dong!" The rapid knock on the door startled Mujibu again. He composed himself and thought that perhaps reinforcements were coming, but as soon as the door opened, a large group of angry soldiers appeared in front of them, with the black guns of guns pointed at him. "Shoot!" Major Farusak, commander of the Tank Regiment, issued a stern order. "Da, da, da!" Fifty-five-year-old Mujib, Bangladesh's first president, fell to the ground. In about 20 minutes, these president's "guards" shot dead all 16 members of Mujib's family, including his wife, three sons, two daughter-in-law, and a son-in-law. The intelligence chief who came from home to inspect the situation was not spared. The president's two nephews also suffered the same fate as their uncles in their respective homes. Army Chief of Staff Shafiulla received an order from the president to send troops and is preparing to take action. Unexpectedly, as soon as he put down his headphones, the phone rang again. The call was from Major Farusak of his subordinate Tank Regiment. The major told him that the president's family had become old friends and asked the Chief of Staff to abandon the old and build a new one to support the coup. Shafiulla didn't believe it at first, but then he thought that it would be easy for the people defending the president to kill the president, so he canceled the troop mobilization operation. The Royal Guards built by Mujib during his lifetime, a well-equipped and 40,000-strong guard team, are now completely immobilized. Its commander, Colonel Nuruzara, was visiting in Moscow at this time, and the headquarters north of Dhaka was under the muzzle control of five tanks. Although the officers and soldiers of the security team had sworn loyalty to the president, they could do nothing about it. Just after the coup, Major Darim led another part of the tank regiment stormed Radio Dhaka and announced that "the people's uprising overthrew Mujib's corrupt government." Military law is exercised throughout the country. But Dalim did not say who would be the chief executive of military justice. This was not his negligence. The coup was carried out by young officers, known as "majors." They are dissatisfied with Mujib's rule, oppose his domestic and foreign policies, and especially hate government officials who take bribes and bend the law. They took advantage of the god-given opportunity given by guard Mujib to step forward and overthrow the Mujib regime. However, they had no time to properly consider how to take power after seizing power and who would be the leader. After the coup was declared successful, all four majors leading the coup met on the radio. After an hour of discussion and research, they decided to establish a civilian regime, while they would stay in the presidential palace as assistants. The majors chose Handak Mushtak Ahmed, the Minister of Commerce of the Mujib regime, not only because Mushtak was the uncle of one of the majors, but also because the majors believed that he had conflicts with Mujib and did not collude with Mujib. An hour later, Mushtak arrived at the radio station in the tank sent by the major to pick him up. The then 57-year-old former minister had a white beard and was full of Islamic style. He used to be a smart lawyer. He entered politics at the age of 26. He has been in the official world for more than 30 years and has some experience. In April 1971, when the Provisional Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh was established, he became Foreign Minister, the highest official title he received. Since then, the official fortunes have been poor, and the ministers have become smaller and smaller. Today, with the support of the majors, he has become the second president of Bangladesh. At 9 a.m. that day, the new president delivered a radio speech to the whole country, announcing the establishment of the new regime led by him. In the early morning of January 28, 2010, the central prison in Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, hanged five murderers who killed Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Bangladesh's "father of the country."
