Jahangir said, ‘I was a child when the Liberation War started. I could not join the great war against Pakistan. But I experienced the brutality of the war. So, I feel proud of displaying the horrible scenario of the war.’

According to his statement, he was suffered bullet-wounded while attending the protest against HM Ershad, led by Awami League leader Abdur Razzaq. After Razzaq’s demise, none wanted to know about his sacrifice. But he has neither anger nor huff as he does not do anything for return.

Jahangir said, ‘Most of the people call me crazy after watching all of my passionate works for Bangabandhu and Awami League. But, I do not bother what people think about me. I want to pass the rest of my life being a crazy and devoted lover of Bangabandhu and Awami League.’  

Jahangir also delivered some words to new generation’s political activists saying, ‘After the Liberation War, all political parties’ dedicated leaders and activists have not been evaluated equally. But we have to carry on our duties properly as politics is for the people and there is none out of politics. Our fate doesn’t change without good politics and political leader. I roam here and there like crazy person, this is also a political thought.’
