Not just Poshari, more fake freedom fighters in Pirojpur

The controversy surrounding Manik Poshari's death persists even after eight days. Following allegations of him being a fake freedom fighter, complications arose regarding his state honors and burial in Pirojpur. Amidst this, Freedom Fighter Obaidul Kabir Badal stated that Poshari is not alone and there are other fake freedom fighters in the area.

Speaking at a meeting held at the Pirojpur Freedom Fighters' Complex last Saturday, Obaidul Kabir said that he personally knows a few individuals present at the meeting who are not actual freedom fighters. Claiming that Jamaat is not responsible for the controversy over Poshari, he alleged that covert individuals hiding within NCP and BNP are responsible.

It was further informed in the meeting that Poshari's name is on the government gazette and he will be considered a freedom fighter until the gazette is cancelled. Earlier, Freedom Fighters Abdus Salam Baten and Zahirul Haq claimed on Facebook live that Poshari was gazetted as a freedom fighter during the Awami League government following his testimony against Sayedee.
