The Ministry of Liberation War Affairs is facing difficulties in identifying fake freedom fighters. Over the past three months, more than 20,000 complaints have been filed against individuals holding fraudulent certificates. Allegations have also surfaced against those who secured jobs using fake documents. Additionally, even some genuine freedom fighters have been subjected to scrutiny.

To address this issue, the interim government has restructured the 10-member National Freedom Fighters Council (JAMUKA), as well as the 10-member Bangladesh Freedom Fighters Welfare Trust and its executive committee.

Sources claim that former Minister for Liberation War Affairs, AKM Mozammel Haque, himself is a fake freedom fighter. According to JAMUKA, the number of fake freedom fighters exceeds 100,000. JAMUKA Director General Shahina Khatun stated that preliminary on-site hearings will be conducted to verify claims. Meanwhile, the government is also searching for families of martyrs who have yet to receive their entitled allowances.
