The Sector Commanders Forum-Muktijudda 71 has demanded to give priority-based medical services to valiant Freedom Fighters  and preserve the abandoned weapons of the great Liberation War in the upazila Muktijoddha complexes.

A delegation led by the forum's Secretary General Harun Habib made the demands today at a view-exchange meeting with Liberation War Affairs Minister AKM Mozammel Haque in his office, reports BSS. 

The Vice President of the forum and also cultural personality Bir Muktijoddha M Hamid and Joint Secretary General Bir Muktijoddha Professor Abul Kalam Azad Patwari were also present.

While speaking at the meeting, they said as the Freedom Fighters are old and sick, there is an urgent need for government directives to ensure that they can be admitted to all government and private hospitals on a priority basis and get full medical care with cabin facilities.

In many cases, the Freedom Fighters are being harassed and neglected by the local authorities, they added.

The minister has assured the leaders of taking necessary measures to ensure priority basis medical service for Freedom Fighters and preserve the abandoned weapons of the great Liberation War.

The weapons of the great War of Liberation are the wealth of the nation's history, so it is necessary to preserve and display those arms on an urgent basis, the minister said, adding, "if necessary, initiatives will be taken to preserve the memorials of the Liberation War in the Muktijoddha complexes."
