BNP Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir and his father were rajakars, remarked Awami League presidium member Shajahan Khan.
He said, "When the BNP Secretary General claims to be a freedom fighter, the people of the country feel ashamed, as his father Chokha Mia was the Chairman of the Shanti Committee. Mirza Fakhrul and his father were rajakars. They fled to relatives' homes in India for four months after the country's independence. Mirza Fakhrul's claim of being a freedom fighter is fake."
He made the remark while addressing the triennial conference of Rangpur District Jubo League organized at Rangpur District School Ground on Saturday.
