The historic March 7 speech, delivered by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, was the Magnacarta of the freedom-loving Bengalis. The epic speech was an inspiration for the Bengalis to break the sickles of the Pakistanis.
It was an early sunny afternoon on March 7 in 1971. Tens of thousands of Bengalis thronged the Race Course Maidan (now Suhrawardy Udyan) in Dhaka from across the then East Pakistan to get directives from their leader Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman on how to deal with the Pakistani rulers who had refused to accept the 1970 election results.
