Cultural Adviser Mostofa Sarwar Farooki strongly refuted the viral claim that Liberation War leaders including Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and Tajuddin Ahmad had their Freedom Fighter certificates revoked. "Dear brothers and sisters, this is fake news," he said, adding that the new ordinance clearly affirms the recognition of all members of the Mujibnagar Government as Freedom Fighters. To prove his point, Farooki shared a photo of the ordinance, where it explicitly states that the Mujibnagar Government falls under the definition of Freedom Fighters.
