However, it has been informed that all ongoing programs will continue.
“The government is working relentlessly to ensure the welfare of our esteemed freedom fighters, who are considered the nation's finest offspring, and to preserve the history, memories, and artifacts of the Liberation War. Our government is committed to continue with the provision of allowances to support the well-being of the freedom fighters,” said Finance Minister AHM Mustafa Kamal while proposing the national budget for the 2023-2024 fiscal year.
