March 22, 2026 (V7N) – Liberation War Affairs Minister Ahmed Azam Khan today said his ministry is working not only on issues related to the Liberation War but also on those who were martyred or injured in the 2024 mass uprising.  

Speaking to journalists after a meeting with government officials at Tangail Circuit House, the minister emphasized that the government is committed to taking care of those affected during the uprising, including their families.  

He noted that Bangladesh was founded through the spirit of the Liberation War, and the ministry continues to operate in line with that legacy.  

Khan said preparations are underway for Independence and National Day, expressing confidence that the events will be celebrated successfully according to plan.  

On the issue of the Freedom Fighters’ Council, the minister stressed that it should function democratically. He added that efforts are ongoing to ensure the Muktijoddha Command Council is formed through a democratic process, though such reforms will take time.  

Acknowledging public questions regarding the list of freedom fighters, Khan pledged to work on addressing those concerns to meet expectations. He expressed gratitude for being entrusted with the ministry’s responsibilities and vowed to carry them out with honesty and dedication.  

District officials and local leaders were present at the meeting.
