Historic 7th March Thursday

The historic 7th March, a Red-letter day in the history of the Bangalees’ long arduous freedom struggle, will be observed across the country on Thursday.

On this day in 1971, great leader Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman delivered his epoch-making speech of independence at the Race Course Maidan, now Suhrawardy Udyan, in Dhaka.
In his 19-minute speech from 4.23pm before a million freedom-loving people of East Pakistan, now Bangladesh, Bangabandhu in unequivocal term said, “We had spilled bloods…we are ready to shed more bloods, the people of the country shall be freed Inshallah!”
