On March 7, 1971 Bongobondhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman
made the historic announcement at the Dhaka Race course: " This struggle is
for freedom.....". On every rooftop two flags were seen to be flying. A black
flag to protest the Pakistani treachery and the flag of Bangladesh - green background
with a golden color map of Bangladesh on the red Sun. In his speech Bangabandhu declared
a four-point demand to consider the national assembly meeting on March 25, 1971.
They were :
1. The immediate withdrawal of the martial law.
2. Immediate
withdrawal of all military personnel to their barracks.
3. An inquiry into the
loss of life.
4. Immediate transfer of power to the elected representative of
the people before the assembly meeting March 25.
