Tangail, Aug 30 (V7N) – A human chain and protest were held in Tangail Sadar Upazila to demand the trial of individuals falsely claiming to be freedom fighters and the revocation of their certificates. The demonstration took place on Friday morning at Gala Bazaar and was organized by local students and community members.

Key speakers included Tariq Hasan, the event’s chief coordinator, Shamshul Haque, President of the Gala Bazaar Association, social worker Anisur Rahman Uttam, and Mohammad Ali Jinnah, among others.

The speakers noted that Gala village once had only 3 or 4 recognized freedom fighters. However, this number increased to at least 18 under the previous government. They urged the interim government to investigate and revoke the certificates of all fake freedom fighters and to take legal action against them. The protest also included calls for prayers for those who died in the anti-discrimination student movement and wishes for the speedy recovery of the injured.
