This information was given by Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives Advisor Asif Mahmud Sajeeb Bhuiyan on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Mostafa Sarwar Farooqui, Cultural Advisor to the Interim Government, has clarified why Abrar is being awarded the Swadhinata Award posthumously.<\/p>\n<p>Farooqui raised this issue in a status posted on his verified Facebook today. His status is given below:<\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s Swadhinata Award will be as unique as the Ekushey Padak. After Abrar Fahad&#8217;s words spread on social media in any way, many journalist brothers and sisters have wanted to know the truth of it. The answer for all of them &#8211; wait a little, you will know the full list. You will see all the extraordinary names.<\/p>\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s come to the real reason for writing this post. As Abrar Fahad&#8217;s name comes to the fore, I see enthusiastic praise from people of all walks of life, as well as an incomprehensible question from people of a certain group, &#8216;What consideration should be given to Abrar Fahad for the Independence Medal?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Without explaining what consideration should be given, I want to say in which category it should be given. Only then will the answer to why it should be given be found. My personal opinion is that Abrar Fahad&#8217;s category should be &#8216;Liberation War&#8217;! The result of the Liberation War is independence. The main condition for independence is sovereignty. And the vanguard of sovereignty is Abrar Fahad.<\/p>\n<p>Abrar Fahad is a symbol, whose power if you cannot guess, then I would say go back to July. Go and listen to the chest of youth. The name of the one whose breath you will hear is Abrar Fahad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Abrar Fahad, a student of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), who died,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26468,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[103],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26467","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bangladesh-en"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-04-105333.jpg?fit=645%2C356&ssl=1",645,356,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-04-105333.jpg?resize=150%2C150&ssl=1",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-04-105333.jpg?fit=300%2C166&ssl=1",300,166,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-04-105333.jpg?fit=640%2C353&ssl=1",640,353,true],"large":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-04-105333.jpg?fit=640%2C353&ssl=1",640,353,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-04-105333.jpg?fit=645%2C356&ssl=1",645,356,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-04-105333.jpg?fit=645%2C356&ssl=1",645,356,true],"covernews-slider-full":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-04-105333.jpg?resize=645%2C356&ssl=1",645,356,true],"covernews-slider-center":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-04-105333.jpg?resize=645%2C356&ssl=1",645,356,true],"covernews-featured":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-04-105333.jpg?fit=645%2C356&ssl=1",645,356,true],"covernews-medium":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-04-105333.jpg?resize=540%2C340&ssl=1",540,340,true],"covernews-medium-square":["https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-04-105333.jpg?resize=400%2C250&ssl=1",400,250,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"Biz Trend 24","author_link":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/author\/online24"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/?cat=103&#038;lang=en\" rel=\"category\">Bangladesh<\/a>","tag_info":"Bangladesh","comment_count":0,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/biztrend24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-04-105333.jpg?fit=645%2C356&ssl=1","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":27122,"url":"https:\/\/biztrend24.com\/?p=27122&lang=en","url_meta":{"origin":26467,"position":0},"title":"Chief Advisor to present Independence Award on Tuesday","author":"Biz Trend 24","date":"March 24, 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"The interim government's chief advisor, Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus, will present the Swadhinata Puraskar 2025 on Tuesday, March 25.
