All Mujibnagar Government members remain recognized as FFs: Farooki

Cultural Affairs Adviser Mostofa Sarwar Farooki said all members of the Mujibnagar Government remained recognized as freedom fighters in the new ordinance.

He shared the information on Facebook on Wednesday (June 4).

Farooki wrote: “The claim that the freedom fighter certificates of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, Tajuddin Ahmad and other Liberation War leaders had been revoked was fake news. All members of the Mujibnagar Government have remained recognized as freedom fighters in the new ordinance.”
