Dhaka, April 30 -- Deputy Opposition Leader Syed Abdullah Mohammed Taher on Thursday claimed that he is also a 'child freedom fighter' (Shishu Muktijoddha) as he had assisted the refugees on their way to India during the 1971 Liberation War.

"Today, we are being called Razakars and Al-Badr (collaborators of Pakistani occupation forces) more and more. None of us sitting here were Razakars or Al-Badr.

Taher made this claim, participating in the discussion on the thanksgiving motion over the President's speech delivered at the outset of the current session in the House.
