On August 7, 2026, Acting President Hafiz Uddin Ahmad, Bir Bikram, highlighted the significance of preserving and presenting the true history of Bangladesh's Liberation War. Speaking at the 54th Commissioning and Fellowship Day of the Bangladesh Liberation War Courses in Dhaka Cantonment, he stressed that many crucial events and sacrifices of the war remain unknown to the public.
Ahmad pointed out that several leaders who came to power after independence chose not to reveal the complete story of the Liberation War, leading to numerous untold stories, sacrifices, and acts of heroism. He emphasized the need for these historical accounts to be accurately documented and shared with the people.
During his speech at the Kurmitola Golf Club, the Acting President underscored the importance of recognizing the bravery and sacrifices made by individuals during the war. He asserted that future generations should be aware of these untold stories to appreciate the full scope of the nation's struggle for independence.
Ahmad's remarks come at a time when there is a growing call for a comprehensive documentation of the Liberation War. Historians and veterans alike believe that a more accurate portrayal of the war's history is essential to honor those who fought and died for the nation's freedom.
Efforts are being made to compile and publish detailed accounts of the Liberation War, including personal narratives, eyewitness testimonies, and official records. These initiatives aim to ensure that the true history of the war is preserved and accessible to all.
