Liberation War Affairs Minister AKM Mozammel Haque on Saturday said that as many as 3,107 ‘fake certificates’ of freedom fighters and gazettes have so far been revoked. He said this at the Parliament while replying to a scripted question from Awami League lawmaker Nurunnabi Chowdhury from Bhola-3 constituency.

On the other hand, the government received recommendations for the incorporation of names of 4,188 freedom fighters from the dropout category, the minister added. The names include civilians, women freedom fighters (Birangona), employees of Mujibnagar government, medical team members, war heroes, martyrs and war-wounded freedom fighters, he said.
