The party's secretary general Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir has termed BNP founder Ziaur Rahman's decision to revoke the title of 'Bir Uttam' as a 'disgrace to the liberation war'. The decision to cancel, I think, is completely politically vindictive.
I never consider those who took this decision to be respectful of the liberation war. They are against independence, against the liberation war and completely against the freedom fighters. With this decision the stigma of the liberation war was smeared. I strongly condemn and protest against this. Fakhrul said, "The decision to cancel this title has been taken by the National Freedom Fighters Council and they have decided to inform the government.
I think this has been done to divert the attention of the people towards democracy and the misdeeds of this government and the corruption that is emerging in various ways. Highlighting the memorable role of Ziaur Rahman in the liberation war in 1971, he said, Rahman did not just sit with the declaration of independence. He has fought for 9 months as a sector commander from inside the country and not only every person in Bangladesh, people all over the world know that the war of independence in Bangladesh started with his declaration. Not only Bangladeshi people, many outside writers have written about this. There are.
He received the title of "Bir Uttam" but the post-independence government, namely the government of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, gave it to him. On January 30, he went to Singapore with his wife Rahat Ara Begum for treatment. He is being treated at Farrer Park Hospital.
