Direct Participation in Bangladesh Liberation War
In 1971 Engr. Mosharraf directly participated in the great Liberation War of Bangladesh as a valiant Freedom Fighter (Mukti Bahini). He is one of the very few Members of Parliament who participated in Liberation War as a Freedom Fighter at that time. During the Liberation War he was engaged as the commander of the sub-sector under sector No 1. On the violent night of March 25, 1971, when Pakistani soldiers of 25 Brigade marched towards Chittagong from Comilla Cantonment with tanks and artilleries committing atrocities on their way, Engr. Mosharraf, upon receiving this information took his comrades and destroyed the Shubhopur Bridge by setting it ablaze so that 25 Brigade of Pakistan could not enter Chittagong in due time to commit more atrocities. Later Engr. Mosharraf took CNC special training from India and entered the country and conducted more successful operations against Pakistani Army. He was nearly killed while on mission to destroy Eastern Refinery and while conducting some other important operations in Chittagong. After the liberation of Bangladesh, Engr. Mosharraf dedicated himself for the reconstruction of the country under the leadership of Bongobondhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

“A temple, you know, was anciently “an open place without a roof,” whose walls served merely to shut out the world and direct the mind toward heaven; but a modern meeting-house shuts out the heavens, while it crowds the world into still closer quarters.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Reason transformed into prejudice is the worst form of prejudice, because reason is the only instrument for liberation from prejudice.”
—Allan Bloom (1930–1992)
“Superstition, bigotry and prejudice, ghosts though they are, cling tenaciously to life; they are shades armed with tooth and claw. They must be grappled with unceasingly, for it is a fateful part of human destiny that it is condemned to wage perpetual war against ghosts. A shade is not easily taken by the throat and destroyed.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
