Hasina said the anti-liberation forces are still desperate to nudge their claws aiming at shedding blood. "Like past, they are still engaged in plotting and hatching conspiracies to obstruct the national progress and advancement,” she said in a message on the occasion of Independence and National Day. “Under the undaunted leadership of Bangabandhu, the independence of our beloved motherland Bangladesh was achieved through a 9-month bloody war and supreme sacrifices of 3 million martyrs, agonies of two lakh women and sufferings of millions of people", She remembered.

Canal digging program to enhance agro economic development was first launched by Sheikh Mujib on 23 February, 1972 at Paikgachha, Khulna General Ziaur Rahman The Fake Hero Ziaur Rhaman, the first military dictator of Bangladesh, was born in 1936 in Bagbari village under Gabtoli upazilla, Bogra, a northern district of Bangladesh. His father, a settler from India, was a district science officer. In his teens, Zia was in West Pakistan. Zia joined the Pakistan army in 1953 and was commissioned from Kakul military academy two years later. In the India- Pakistan war of 1965, he led a company and was said to have sent to Germany for higher training.

Like Aurangjib who ostensibly killed his own brothers for Islam, Zia being a self proclaimed freedom fighter, was instrumental to nip in the bud the very spirit of liberation war by

Speech of Bongobondhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahmanon the 7 March, 1971 "The struggle this time is for emancipation!" "The struggle this time is for independence!" My dear brothers….. I have come before your today with a heavy heart. All of your know how hard we have tried. But it is a matter of sadness that the streets of Dhaka, Chittagong, Khulna, Rangpur and Rajshahi are today being spattered with the blood of my brothers, and the cry we hear from the Bengali people is a cry for freedom a cry for survival, a cry for our rights. You are the ones who brought about an Awami League victory so you could see a constitutional government restored. The hope was that the elected representatives of the people, sitting in the National Assembly, would formulate a constitution that would assure that people of their economic, political and cultural emancipation. But now, with great sadness in my heart, I look back on the past 23 years of our history and see nothing but a history of the

1975 Bangladesh coup illegal: court DHAKA: In a historic judgment, the High Court of Bangladesh has declared the tenures of three unconstitutional rulers — Khondoker Moshtaque Ahmed, Justice Abu Sadat M. Sayem and Major General Ziaur Rahman — illegal and void. The Court also declared the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution, which ratified all martial law ordinances and orders, including the legalisation of the assassination of the country's founding father Sheikh Mujibur Rahman in 1975, illegal. The High Court Bench comprising Justices ABM Khairul Haq and ATM Fazle Kabir, however, noted that although all government activities between August 1975 and 1979 had been declared illegal, history could not be altered. It said Khandker Mushtaque Ahmed's assumption of power on August 15, 1975 after the assassination of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, placing the country under martial law, and taking the office of President by the Proclamation of August 20, 1975 were "in clear violation of th
