Explanation:
Bangladesh is observing the 50th anniversary of the historic speech given by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in Dhaka on 7th March 1971.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina paid tributes to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib by placing wreaths at his portrait in front of the Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at Dhanmondi in Dhaka. Her younger sister Sheikh Rehana accompanied Prime Minister Hasina during the wreath-laying ceremony.
President M. Abdul Hamid in his message said that the historic message of Bangabandhu will be an eternal source of inspiration for all freedom-loving people of the world.
Prime Minister Hasina in her message on the occasion said that the speech will inspire the deprived, repressed and freedom-seeking people of the world.
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman had delivered the historic speech on this day in 1971 at the then Race Course Maidan which is now known as Suhrawardy Udyan. He had declared before a huge crowd on that day that ‘Ebarer songram amader muktir songram, ebarer sangram swadhinatar sangram’ meaning ‘the struggle this time is for our freedom, the struggle this time is for our independence’.
This was virtually a declaration of independence from Pakistan which had refused to acknowledge the victory of Awami League in the national elections held in late 1970 and continued with severe repression of the people of the then East Pakistan.
UNESCO recognised this speech as part of World Documentary Heritage in 2017.
The ruling Awami League, several other socio-cultural organisations and TV Channels have organised programmes to mark this historic day in Bangladesh.
