(3) So, Zia as the army commander in Chittagong realized the void and to inspire the nation he first declared it without Mujib's name then at the inistence of Al members, he used Sk Mujib's name.
(4) Zia's declaration at that crucial moment made sense and his role as the commander made the declaration so important.
(1) Abid Bahar, The Bloody Month of March 1971: From the End of a United Pakistan to the Beginning of Bangladesh
http://voiceofbangladesh.info/details_all.php?id=95&table_name=essays&writer_id=0Mujib not joinning the rebels but surrendering to the Pakistan army was not helpful for the independence war either. In this vaccum, some ALs in Chittagong found it important to approach Ziaur Rahman to formally declared the liberation war of Bangladesh. Thus, Mijib's 7th March Speech from the Racecourse ground led to a Civil War and Zia's 28th March Speech from Kalurghat led to the formal declaration of independence.
Dear Mr. Anwar,
Like many others, we have also heard the voice of Ziaur Rahman
but one should not deny the fact that he had pronounced /read out
on behalf of Sk. Mujibur Rahman. So, anybody can read out something on
behalf of somebody, it does not mean that " he has declared what was
written on that script" he has only read out. So, we should understand the
difference of meaning. One sided thinking can never bring about any solution,
rather bitterness will go on and on .
One thing I would also like to point out for the better understanding that one
can not declare a country's independence if one wishes to do so. Who can &
can not do it, I am sure you should know it ........
All the best,
Zayeed
