Historic March 7 today
Today is the historic 7th of March, a significant chapter in the history of Bangladesh’s liberation movement. On this day in 1971, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman made a strong warning against the Pakistani rulers. Standing in front of millions of people at the Racecourse Ground in Dhaka (now Suhrawardy Udyan), he declared, “Ebarer sangram amader muktir sangram, ebarer sangram swadhinatar sangram [The struggle this time is a struggle for emancipation, the struggle this time is a struggle for independence]”.
