State Minister for Liberation War Affairs Ishraq Hossain announced that the Prime Minister has directed officials to ensure no one is excluded from the list of July uprising fighters on political grounds. He made the statement on Wednesday after an inter-ministerial meeting on liberation war affairs held at the Secretariat.

Hossain explained that in previous periods, many July fighters were left out of the official list due to their association with the BNP, which deprived them of government assistance. The Prime Minister has now instructed that those excluded be added to the list promptly. He also said the Prime Minister has inquired about the treatment of those injured in the July uprising and the rehabilitation of families of those who were killed.

The meeting also discussed rehabilitation measures for those injured in the July uprising, according to the state minister.
