Dhaka: Over forty years after he saved lives of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her mother from Pakistani captivity, Bangladesh will honour a former Indian army officer with the prestigious "Friend of Liberation War" award.
"The cabinet meeting today decided to confer Colonel (retd) Ashoke Tara with the honour," Cabinet Secretary M Mosharaf Hossain Bhuiyan told newsmen after a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.
Bhuiyan said the cabinet decided to honour Tara as he "with immense courage and valour freed" Bangladesh's founder Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's wife Fazilatunessa Mujib, two daughters including incumbent the Premier and minor son Sheikh Russell from Pakistani captivity.
