45 years ago, Bangabandhu gave the finest speech of his life at the erstwhile historic Race Course
Maydan. Disregarding the intimidation and threats of the Pakistani Army’s tanks, guns and
machineguns, and in the presence of a million audience, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman declared in a booming voice: “”This time, the struggle is for our liberation, this time the struggle is for our independence””.
In what circumstances did Bangabandhu gave that speech?
Under the leadership of Sheikh Muibur Rahman, the Awami League won an absolute majority in the
National Assembly elections of Pakistan held on 7 December, 1970. In that election, Sheikh Mujibur
Rahman’s Awami League won 167 out 169 seats in East Pakistan, with the other two seats going to
PDP. After the 7 December elections, the then military ruler of Pakistan General Yahya Khan called for
session of the National Assembly on 3rd March, 1970.
But the leader of West Pakistan’s PPP Z A Bhutto and the military establishment of Pakistan started
their conspiracy to resist the elected Awami League from gaining their rightful governing powers.
=>1 March: The President of Pakistan was supposed to address the nation on this day. The entire country waited to hear what he had to say via their TVs and radios. But to the dismay of these people, instead of Yahya, another spokesperson announced that: “”Till next announcement, President Yahya Khan has indefinitely suspended the session of the National Assembly. He has commented that the current situation in Pakistan as a deep political crisis””.
This deeply angered Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. He called for the liberation of the Bangali
people. In a press conference he stated that this is no political crisis but the expression of the
autocratic attitude of the Paksitani rulers. He added that the Bangalis have rejected this announcement and called for a general strike on behalf of the people for 2nd March in Dhaka and 3rd March nationwide. He also asked the Bangalis to wait for his next instructions. Subsequently, the Bangalis for the first time called for their independence with slogans like: “”Brave Bangalis Take Up Arms, and Liberate Bangladesh””. The Shadhin Bangla Chatro Shongram Parishad (Independent Bangla Students Struggle Council) was formed.
=> 2 March : Dhaka was a city of strikes, processions and curfew on this day. The highlight of the day was the raising of the flag by Chatro Shongram Parishad at university.
From the morning, all processions were headed to the university. One of the most notable things was the fading away of the use of the word ‘Pakistan’ from the vocabulary of Bangalis of East Pakistan from that day. In his press conference in the evening, Bangabandhu Sheiklh Mujibur Rahman repeatedly uttered the term ‘Bangladesh’. The government backed goons came out on the streets to resist the general strike of the common people. At least 50 were admitted Dhaka Medical College Hospital with gunshot wounds. They were mostly from the Tejgaon area. Azid Morshed and Mamoon of Tejgaon Poly Technique College died after being brought to the hospital with gunshot wounds.
=> 3 March:A mourning day was observed in remembrance of those killed. In a meeting of Chatro League and Sromik League as the Chief Guest, Bangabandhu observed with a heavy heart: “”Whether I am here or not, Bangalis’ liberation struggle should not stop. The blood of Bangalis cannot go in vain. If I am not here, my colleagues will lead. If they are killed, then those who survive, will lead. The struggle must go on at any costs. The rights must be established””.Bangabandhu announced earlier that his next instructions would come at the Racecourse Maydan on 7 March.
=>4 March: 4 March 1971 was tumultuous from the mass demonstrations. As the day passed, the one point demand as in the aspiration for independence became even more stronger. On this day, thousands of people came out on the streets breaking the curfew imposed by the military junta.
=> 6 March: One day before March 7, on March 6, General Yahya Khan had a phone conversation with the majority leader of the Pakistan National Assembly, Awami League President Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. It was also announced on March 6 that the session of the National Assembly would sit on 25 March at Dhaka.
=>7 March: It was in this difficult and crisis filled context that Bangabandhu delivered his historic speech at the Racecourse Maydan on March 7. By stipulating four conditions for the Pakistan military establishment, Bangabandhu concluded his thunderous speech by saying: “”This time, the struggle is for our liberation, this time the struggle is for our independence
