The Ministry of Liberation War Affairs of Bangladesh has revoked the gazette recognition of 53 individuals listed as 'July Fighters' from the Rangpur division following allegations of irregularities and inconsistencies. The decision, signed by Deputy Secretary (Gazette) Haridas Thakur, was announced on Monday and takes immediate effect under the authority granted by the July Uprising Martyrs and Fighters Welfare and Rehabilitation Ordinance, 2025. Ministry adviser Faruk E Azam stated that earlier gazette lists were under review after reports suggested that some listed individuals were not actually injured or involved in the July 2024 movement. This marks the first time the ministry has canceled a 'July Fighter' gazette, though it had previously removed eight names from the martyrs’ list on August 3. Currently, the official count stands at 836 martyrs and 13,800 injured fighters categorized as severely, moderately, or lightly injured.
