Chief Adviser Dr. Muhammad Yunus emphasized that the new generation must draw inspiration from Bangladesh’s Liberation War to understand the nation’s origins and sacrifices. He made the remarks on Sunday evening during a meeting at the state guesthouse Jamuna with members of the National Freedom Fighters Council, the Bangladesh Freedom Fighters Welfare Trust, and the Bangladesh Muktijoddha Sangsad. Yunus said his government’s priority after taking office was to identify genuine freedom fighters and expose impostors, ensuring that the institutions representing them regain integrity.

Adviser to the Ministry of Liberation War Affairs Faruk I Azam stated that previous governments had misused the spirit of the Liberation War, creating inequality and depriving real veterans. Freedom fighters attending the meeting expressed gratitude to Yunus for reforms, the upcoming referendum, and efforts to restore their dignity. They said the July Charter would strengthen accountability and protect sovereignty. Several participants pledged personal support for the referendum’s “yes” campaign.

Yunus added that the government was nearing elections and that constitutional reforms born from the mass uprising were crucial to prevent political stagnation and ensure lasting national progress.
