Recently, a new controversy has arisen over his book 'Bangabandhu and Bangladesh'.

Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said that Ziaur Rahman did not wage liberation war. In the current study of the liberation war, some documents have come out, it is also seen that General Beg wrote a letter to Ziaur Rahman. In the letter, he praised him for his work. It is also being said on behalf of the Awami League that Ziaur Rahman was a spy of Pakistan. Apart from this, various questions have been raised about the role of Ziaur Rahman in exploring the history of the liberation war of 1971 and for this Jamuka has taken initiative to cancel the title of Bir Uttam of Ziaur Rahman.
