Dhaka was paralyzed in the movement of non-cooperation at Bangabandhu’s call. Rumors spread early on around today’s program that Bangabandhu could declare independence directly.
East Pakistan was then run practically under the leadership of Bangabandhu. Millions of people have been gathering at the historic racecourse (now Suhrawardy Udyan) since morning to hear Bangabandhu’s speech. Bengals from different parts of the country, including the area around Dhaka, came to hear his speech.
Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman arrived at the meeting place at 3.15 pm. Dressed in white-Punjabi pajamas and a black coat (Mujib coat), Sheikh Mujib stood on stage and was greeted by the cheering crowd and chanting ‘Joybangla’.
Highlighting the 23-year history of hardship from the crowd at the then racecourse, Bangabandhu said that day: “When we have learned to die; No one can control us.
“When I have donated blood, I will give more blood, I will liberate the people of this country inshaAllah. This time the fight is for our liberation, this time the fight is for freedom ”.
In the words of the poet Nirmalendu Guna- ‘Since then the word freedom is ours’.
Bangabandhu urged: “Build forts in each house, you have to deal with the enemy with what you have.”
“I don’t want to be prime minister,” he said. We want the rights of the people of this country … And if a shot is fired, and if my people die, if I cannot give orders, deal with the enemy with whatever you have. When I have donated blood, I will give more blood. I will free the people of this inshallah country. “
The slogans of the people were ‘Jago Jago-Bangali Jago’, ‘Punjab Na Bangla-Bangla Bangla’, ‘Take Amar Adhar-Padma Meghna Jamuna’, ‘Take Neta Amar Neta-Sheikh Mujib, Sheikh Mujib’, ‘Bir Bangali’ . Take up arms, make Bangladesh independent “,” Your country is my country, Bangladesh “.
Listeners in Bengal were eagerly awaiting the announcement that Bangabandhu’s important speech will be broadcast on March 7. But at the last moment, the transmission of Bangabandhu’s speech was stopped at the instructions of the military authorities. Previously, patriotic songs were broadcast on the radio.
Bengali employees boycotted the work in protest against Bangabandhu’s speech on ‘Dhaka Betar’ and all Dhaka Betar Kendra programs were discontinued since the afternoon of March 7.
Late at night, when the military authorities gave permission to broadcast all the details of Bangabandhu’s speech in Dhaka Betar, the broadcast of Dhaka Betar Kendra resumed with Bangabandhu’s speech.
That same night, the Awami League called for a non-violent non-cooperation movement until the demands were met on the basis of 10 points. Tikka Khan arrived in Dhaka. Bengali and non-Bengali clashes and military shootings took place in different places. The flow of events continues towards the final ascension.
