Dhaka: The government issued a statement today clarifying that reports circulating in various media and social media about the cancellation of the recognition of Mujibnagar government leaders as ‘freedom fighters’ during the Liberation War are incorrect.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the government emphasized that the newly published gazette of the ‘National Freedom Fighters Council (Amendment) Ordinance, 2025’ reaffirms that all members of the Mujibnagar government will continue to be recognized as ‘heroic freedom fighters’. The statement aims to dispel any confusion and assure the public of the leaders’ continued recognition.
