"Why so much anger against freedom fighters? The grandchildren of the freedom fighters will not get? So will Razakar's grandchildren get? My question is to the countrymen. Then will Razakar's grandchildren get jobs, not freedom fighters. What is the crime? By risking their life, they threw away everything and took part in the liberation war. Day and night without eating, breaking the clay, fighting sun-rain-storm brought victory to this country. Everyone is sitting in high position because they brought victory. Creating conflict is a strategy here. That means that the children-grandchildren of freedom fighters are not talented, but the children-grandchildren of Razakar are talented, right? It should not be forgotten that they are defeated by those who say no to genius. It should be remembered that the freedom fighters won the war against the Rajakars. Where is their talent? That is my question. How much merit is there in preliminary exam, written exam, then viva. At that time, if you are the child of a freedom fighter, you will get that reality. And not all quotas are filled all the time. What remains is given from the list. Many jobs are offered from merit list. This instruction is given. But freedom fighters must get priority there, it has to be given."
