Neglected freedom fighter

Nur Mohammad, Shamimabad R/A, Kanishail Road, Sylhet
My father was a Freedom Fighter. He fought for Bangladesh against Pakistan in 1971. He died on 26 May 2003. After his death we have received state honour (Rastrio Marjada) from Bangladesh police. The local newspapers in Sylhet also published that news.

We have got two certificates, one from Bangladesh Armed Forces and the other is from sub- sector commander, both were issued in January 1972. In October 2000 my father's name was published in Mukti Barta & his Mukti No-0603020409. But his name, Moslem Khalifa, is not included in Bangladesh Gadget and we have not received any certificate from the Prime Minister of Bangladesh. Only for that we went from door to door but we did not get any response anywhere. But we have got enough document to prove that my father was a genuine freedom fighter.

We appeal to the authorities concerned to look into the matter.
