Historic June 7 marks inception of spirit of independence
Every year on June 7, we observe 'Six-Point Day' with due respect. The Six Points and June 7 are intricately linked in the history of the national liberation struggle. The significance of the Six Points and June 7 in our national life is immense. On June 7, 1966, under the leadership of the Awami League, the people of Bengal observed a comprehensive strike against the Pakistani rulers, demanding the release of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and all other political prisoners. This day is marked by the blood of many martyrs, including Manu Miah and Mujibullah, staining the historic Six Points. Later, at the beginning of the mass movement in 1969, the Six Points evolved into the Eleven Points, leading to the historic 1970 election, and ultimately, through the sacrifice of a sea of blood, we achieved the single point of independence in 1971.
