It may take another six months to publish the full list of war-time collaborators, Razakars and Al-Badar, as the responsible sub-committee is yet to complete the task.

"We're cautious to ensure there are no mistakes," said Kazi Firoz Rashid, Jatiya Party lawmaker, who is one of the members of the sub-committee formed to prepare a list of Razakars and Al Badar.

Three days after its publication on December 15, 2019, the Ministry of Liberation War Affairs suspended the controversial and flawed Razakars' list amid nationwide outrage and protests.

A six-member sub-committee comprising of six lawmakers was formed in August 2020 to prepare a list but the committee was scrapped as they did not hold any meetings.

In April this year, a three-member committee headed by Shajahan Khan was tasked with the job. Capt AB Tajul Islam, is another member of the committee, along with Shajahan Khan and Kazi Firoz Rashid.

In reply to a question, Rashid said they are holding meetings regularly and they have gotten lists of razakars from many districts.

"We're being careful so that no one uses this as an opportunity to wrongfully enlist someone's name based on personal enmity," he added.

Earlier, Shajahan Khan told the media that some of the lists provided by the DCs did not seem acceptable as it found no Razakars in many districts.

He said they are also collecting the list of Razakars from the grassroots level in addition to the government management.

"We're collecting information from local commanders of the Liberation War to verify the information," said Firoz Rashid.

The parliamentary standing committee on the liberation war affairs ministry on April 13 this year formed this sub-committee to make the list of Razakars and Al Badar.
