Dhaka Bureau: Liberation War Affairs Minister AKM Mozammel Haque said that more than 50 years have passed since independence. We have already prepared the final list of freedom fighters. It was also given the option to apply online or in person. This process was completed last year. For that reason, it is not possible to apply to become a new freedom fighter, said the minister.
The minister gave this information in response to a supplementary question of Mainul Hossain Khan Nikhil in the National Parliament on Sunday (May 5). Speaker Shirin Sharmin Chowdhury presided over the session.
The minister said, however, that if the names of the freedom fighters who are registered have not received the allowance, we will take action if they inform us about it. And the matter of increasing the honor or allowance of freedom fighters is under review, he said.
The Liberation War Affairs Minister said that the program of providing housing facilities to 30 thousand freedom fighter families across the country at an estimated cost of Tk 6,965,325,000 is underway.
