Bangabandhu Hints Declaration of Independence by Hoisting Flag on March 23

At sunrise on March 23 in 1971, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman hoisted the map-inlaid flag of independent Bangladesh at his residence at Dhanmondi Road No. 32. Earlier, on March 7, he announced the final war tactics at Suhrawardy Udyan. Since then, under the direction of the Father of the Nation, the non-cooperation movement was going on across the country, on the one hand, and on the other hand, preparations for the final war were underway through the Sangram Committee led by Awami League. Pakistani junta chief General Yahya Khan and Pakistan People’s Party leader Zulfikar Ali Bhutto who lost the 1970 election came to Dhaka at such a critical time. Bangabandhu declared 'Pakistan Day' of March 23 as 'Resistance Day' in their presence.

On the morning of March 23, Bangabandhu hoisted the red-green flag with his own hands in front of thousands of people. Then the crowd sang the song 'Joy Bangla, Banglar Joy' together. Volunteers saluted the national flag in military-style.
