 * This is Shadhin Bangla Betar Kendro. I, Major Ziaur Rahman, on behalf of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, hereby declare that the independent People's Republic of Bangladesh has been established. I have taken command as the temporary Head of the Republic. I call upon all Bengalis to rise against the attack by the West Pakistani Army. We shall fight to the last to free our Motherland. By the grace of Allah, victory is ours. Joy Bangla. -March 26, 1971. The Declaration of Independence of Bangladesh

Religion can offer some contribution, but an entire political activism cannot be oriented in accordance with religion.

Not only in Islam, people in other religions of many regions try to keep on politics based on religion. It's not right. It's important and it should be remembered.


 * Do you think I want to hang Taher? Well, I don’t. But the Law of the Land should carry its Course. He did not send any Mercy Petition and so what is there for me to do?
