Liberation War Affairs Minister AKM Mozammel Haque yesterday said the actual freedom fighters would be picked out soon.
“The real freedom fighters will be given digital identity card after spotting them through proper investigation as early as possible. They will be considered as honourable citizens of the country while their allowance will be lifted to Tk10,000 and 25% of them will get house rent from the next fiscal year,” Mozammel Haque said. The minister made the remarks while addressing a view exchange meeting with the local liberation war heroes as the chief guest after inaugurating the Panchagarh Freedom Fighters’ complex in the afternoon.
Those who contributed to the 1971 liberation war from March 26 to December 16 would be enrolled to the list, said Mozammel, adding that a move would be taken to legalise the use of the title freedom fighter before their names.
Later, the minister said there will have also a step to take a 100-mark of examination in the BCS on the liberation war and later he warned of taking stern action against the education institutions which do not hoist the national flag.
