We have to show highest honour to freedom fighters: PM

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said that the freedom fighters had brought the country's independence by shedding bloods during the great Liberation War. We have to show the highest honour to the freedom fighters.

The premier said this while addressing a program at the PM office on Tuesday (July 16).

She said freedom fighters are touted to be freedom fighters to her despite the fact they may have different of opinion or can be involved in other political parties.

Many of them had sacrificed their lives and many others became crippled to achieve the independence during the Liberation War, she said.

"So, I think, their honour will be the highest," she added.

Once upon a time, the freedom fighters were deprived, she said, adding that she had provided all supports to them since she assumed office.

"So, they can say with proud that they are freedom fighters," she added.
