Speakers further added that Razakars opposed the Liberation War and independence in 1971 and continue to conspire against Bangladesh today. However, as long as freedom fighters are alive, these conspiracies will not be allowed to succeed, because this is the Bangladesh of the Liberation War and Bangabandhu.
Notably, Valiant Freedom Fighter Manik Pashari hailed from Chitalia village under No. 5 Shankarpasha Union of Pirojpur Sadar Upazila. He passed away on October 24, 2026, and was buried in his family graveyard without receiving state honors. Nationwide human chains and protest rallies were organized as part of a centrally announced program to protest this incident.
