Khandaker Moshtaque Ahmed
Khandaker Moshtaque Ahmed was a Bangladeshi politician who served as the President of Bangladesh in the mid-1970s. He is notably remembered for his role during a tumultuous period in the country's history following the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding leader of Bangladesh. In September 1975, Moshtaque enacted the Indemnity Ordinance, which effectively provided legal protection for those involved in the coup against Sheikh Mujib, thereby blocking any legal proceedings related to the assassination. His presidency was marked by political instability and controversy, and he was later ousted from power.
