Declaration of Independence by Bangabandhu & Birth of Bangladesh

Just before the Pakistani army arrested Bangabandhu, his declaration of independence was transmitted to different parts of the world through several ships including MV Salvista, MV Mini La Tria, MV VV Giri and others. Butcher Tikka Khan later in an interview and Siddiq Salik in his book said that they heard Bangabandhu's declaration of independence themselves.

Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra started transmission from Chattogram soon after Bangabandhu declared independence in the early hours of March 26. Belal Mohammad, one of its organizers, said that the declaration of independence was broadcast first on March 26.

The declaration was also spread through loudspeakers in different areas since the morning of March 26. By noon, it was transcribed into Bengali and distributed as leaflets.
