Green, blue and red; Bangladesh has these three color passports. Green passport for government employees and general public, blue passport is used for government officials traveling abroad and the other passport is red.

This red colored passport is a diplomatic passport. The President, Prime Minister, Cabinet Members, Members of Parliament and their spouses are eligible for this passport.

High court judges, vice-chancellors of public universities, heads of public service commissions and secretaries of various ministries and officials of Bangladeshi missions abroad get red passports. Red color passport holders get country-to-country on-arrival visa. Another feature is that diplomatic passports are red in color in all countries.

The origin of the issue of passport color is the murder of a Member of Parliament of Bangladesh while visiting neighboring India. Member of Parliament from Jhenaidah-4 Constituency Anwarul Azim Anar went to India for treatment and to attend a wedding ceremony of his friend's daughter. He went to India by road on May 12. He went to the house of a gold trader he knew. It is said that he used to stay in that house whenever he went to Kolkata.

Gopal Biswas, a gold merchant, mentioned in a general diary (GD) at the West Bengal police station that he left the house on May 13 due to medical treatment, and it is said that the last call came on the mobile phone of Anwarul Azim Anar's personal assistant on May 16.

A week after going to India and three days after losing contact, Anwarul Azim Anar's family has informed that he is 'missing' after going to India. Maybe this news went to various media and offices immediately, but this news came to the press on 19 May.

On the same day, Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal while talking to reporters said, "There is nothing to worry about Anwarul Azim Anar" and assured, "Our NSI is working." Indian law enforcement agencies have been informed. There is no reason to worry.

The Minister said, "He (Anowarul Azim) is an old man, a Member of Parliament who knows what to do." He went to India, a neighboring country. It's not like he went to Myanmar, that there were fights. I think he will come back soon.

The Home Minister's speech had a reassuring message. There was a strong belief in the security of neighboring friendly countries. The strong confidence that he expressed about India in the comment that he has not gone to Myanmar, it turned out to be the opposite! After the disappearance, it is now known that Anwarul Azim Anar was murdered while in India and after the murder incident, the Home Minister said that it was Bangladeshis who killed MP Anar in India. He claimed that no Indian was involved in this incident.

No one in India may be involved in this murder, but when the crime scene is there, can one really avoid responsibility!

First came the news that the body of Member of Parliament Anwarul Azim Anar was recovered from a building in West Bengal. It was later learned that his body was not found. The search for the body is underway. In the meantime, at least five people have been arrested in the country and abroad.

Home Minister said that Anwarul Azim Anar was killed by Bangladeshis and not by Indians. The matter is under investigation. However, the language of the Home Minister, it seems that the investigation is over! However, after the news of his disappearance, the Home Minister said with confidence, "He is an old man, a Member of Parliament who knows what to do." I think you will come.' The fact is, he is unlikely to return as of now. The Minister also says that he was killed.

The past of MP Anwarul Azim Anar is gradually coming out in the media. It is known that he was under the warrant of the international police organization Interpol. Interpol had issued a red notice against him for racketeering and smuggling. By joining the Awami League, he was able to withdraw the notice as an MP.

Various sources say that he started in that area during the dictator Hussain Muhammad Ershad, developed during the BNP period and became a public representative during the Awami League period. He got 'immunity' from everywhere. Now, forgetting the past, we are busy mourning. Although the expression of human grief is not a fault, yet the true crime is never forgotten.

The death of MP Anwarul Azim Anar is unexpected. The murder of a parliament member of Bangladesh in a friendly neighboring country is alarming lthough this was not his official visit. He went to India alone. Attending medical, business or social events, for whatever reason the visit is personal, but his contact here is a Member of Parliament of Bangladesh. He uses the country's red passport. The color of diplomatic passports of every country in the world is red. As such, his foreign visit should not be unknown to anyone in the two countries.

Several ministers do not want to take the neighboring country into consideration regarding the murder of a Member of Parliament of Bangladesh in India. BNP General Secretary gave a punch, about 'Friendship of Bandhurashtra'. There is politics and love and hatred for India in trying to hide India, trying to bring it forward, but they have no responsibility here, but the time has not come to say it yet. This effort to further impeach and exonerate them is unnecessary. It is a matter of state-level communications, relations and investigations.

Our historical relationship with Indi from the Liberation War of Bangladesh to the recent progress of Bangladesh, the country's support and participation has been everywhere. Accepting this fact, the question can be raised; citizens die at the border why will the MP of Bangladesh die by shooting and crossing the border? There is no responsibility for that country! When he crossed the border and entered India, India came to know from his passport that a Member of Parliament had entered the country. These are very normal processes. When a foreign VIP enters Bangladesh, don't various organizations and authorities become active even though they are hidden! Various aspects including surveillance, security are relevant here. The importance of diplomatic passport is here!

According to the source of primary information, the Home Minister says that the victim of murder in Kolkata by Bangladeshis is the Member of Parliament Anwarul Azim Anar. This comment does not affect the investigation process before the start of the official investigation! Even if it is proved in the final investigation, the question can be asked, will the country's various forces and organizations not feel it when Bangladeshis go to a foreign country and make such a big incident? They are not really responsible here!

The body of Bangladesh parliamentarian Anwarul Azim Anar, who holds a diplomatic passport, has not been recovered so far. But first it was known about the recovery of the body. A group of assailants from Bangladesh killed in an elite area of the country, the bodies were removed, the suspects were arrested before the murders were confirmed, the neighboring friendly countries started discussing 'to blame or not to blame' - so many things happened, in the fastest time. They are mysterious!

Besides solving the mystery of the murder, it is also important to solve the mystery of so many events that happened as soon as possible.
