Shamsul Haque Chowdhury alias ‘Bichchhu Shamsu’, who sprang during the rule of Ziaur Rahman, turned influential during the tenure of HM Ershad and became a millionaire overnight during the rule of present Awami League government.
However, during the tenure of all the governments, he was ‘expert’ in destroying Awami League and he is still playing the same role. After holding Zia’s hand and writing his name in the politics of Jatiyatabadi Jubo Dal, he attacked Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) and Jubo League leaders and activists.
During the Ershad government, Shamsul Haque’s influence spread from Patiya to Chattogram city as a JP cadre.
