FF certificate
Our independence was achieved by the blood of millions of people. Our brave boys didn't show any kind of stinginess in sacrificing their lives to save our motherland. We don't have any accurate statistical data that tell us exactly how many people lost their lives during the liberation war. The most regrettable issue is, till now, we are not able to identify the number of original freedom fighters who directly participated in the liberation war. Many of them are now working as rickshaw-pullers or beggars. On the other hand, some people who were convicted as “Rajakar” at that time are now claiming themselves to be freedom fighters by collecting fake freedom fighter certificates.
For a nation, nothing could be more disgraceful.
Many of us know that there is a special quota for the freedom fighters' offspring in the BCS exams. But how would we believe that all the candidates are real? We don't have any concrete evidence regarding this because fake certificates were easily manageable in those days.
I believe, every conscious reader has understood what I really want to say.
Hope our government will be able to place the issue in right perspective.
