A Muktijoddha who fought in the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971 said he was stripped of his honour by Jamaat-e-Islami supporters and was relieved at the party’s defeat in the national elections. Nasir Ahmed, 75, told Metro over the phone from Rangamati in Chittagong on Friday: “My name was recently struck off the Jatiya Muktijoddha Council (National Freedom Fighter Council) by Jamaat supporters. “I had joined the Pakistan police force, but I responded to the call from Mujibur Rahman and joined the Liberation War. On the night of March 25, 1971, he was stationed at the Noakhali police barracks in Chittagong. “The Yunus government was supporting Jamaat, and they had no respect for the freedom fighters,” he added.
