The Parliamentary Standing Committee on the Ministry of Liberation War Affairs on Monday recommended preparing a report based on an accurate list of Liberation War martyrs and an authentic list of freedom fighters (FF).

The recommendation was made at the second meeting of the committee at the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban, chaired by committee Chairman Md Monirul Haque Chowdhury.

The committee also recommended taking necessary measures to send injured July Uprising fighters abroad for better treatment on a priority basis in phases.

It further recommended ensuring that genuine freedom fighters receive necessary facilities on a priority basis through the Muktijoddha Kalyan Trust, according to a press release issued in the afternoon.

The committee advised the authorities to take necessary steps to keep the Muktijoddha Sangsad functional so that it can play an active role in national politics.

The meeting reviewed the minutes of previous meetings and discussed major activities undertaken by the Ministry of Liberation War Affairs over the past six months, along with progress in their implementation.

The committee also advised all concerned to take appropriate measures to present the authentic history of the Liberation War and ensure due respect for freedom fighters and July Uprising fighters.

Committee members Liberation War Affairs Minister Ahmed Azam Khan, State Minister Ishraque Hossain, Md Abdul Hannan and Rokeya Begum attended the meeting.

The ministry secretary, senior officials of the July Mass Uprising Directorate, the concerned ministry and the Parliament Secretariat were also present.
