Liberation War Affairs Minister AKM Mozammel Huq yesterday said the name of Ziaur Rahman will be removed from the nameplate of the Shishu Park at Shahbagh in the capital in a week, reports BSS.

“The ‘Zia Shishu Park’ has already been renamed as ‘Shishu Park’ and the nameplate will be changed within a week,” he told a press conference on the programmes of the Genocide Day on March 25 and the Independence Day on March 26 in the PID conference room here.

He said a memorial monument will also be built at the Suhrawardy Udyan where the Pakistani occupation forces surrendered in 1971. The place where the Pakistani occupation forces surrendered had been turned into the Shisu Park by former President Ziaur Rahman, he added.
