A member of parliament from Jamaat-e-Islami, Abdul Muntakim, is facing criticism after claiming his father was a martyr in the Liberation War of 1971. The controversy arose during a parliamentary session where Muntakim highlighted his family’s alleged contributions to the war. However, subsequent reports indicate Muntakim was born in 1981, raising questions about the veracity of his claim. He represents the Nilphamari-4 constituency and made the statement while discussing the supplementary budget. The discrepancy has sparked debate and scrutiny regarding the MP’s assertions about his family’s past. This incident adds to ongoing discussions about historical narratives and political claims surrounding Bangladesh’s independence.
