The Bangladesh Nationalist Party will commemorate the 1975 civil-military uprising through activities spanning 10 days beginning Tuesday. Secretary General Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir detailed the schedule during a briefing at party headquarters in Nayapaltan following discussions between BNP officials and affiliated organizations.
Activities start on November 5 with a forum hosted by Jatiyatabadi Sramik Dal and conclude on November 13. Party banners will fly above BNP facilities nationwide on the morning of November 7, when senior members will visit founder Ziaur Rahman's burial site at 10 a.m. to lay flowers and pray. Dhaka's northern and southern branches will stage a demonstration departing from Nayapaltan at 3 p.m., while district chapters organize similar gatherings. Associated groups will mount cultural programs, photograph displays, and distribute learning supplies to students without parents. Media outlets will carry special sections honoring the anniversary.
Fakhrul described November 7 as pivotal in shaping Bangladesh's political trajectory, noting the day marks five decades since troops and citizens liberated Rahman from detention at Dhaka cantonment during domestic upheaval. The general secretary emphasized that popular and military cooperation enabled Rahman's political ascent and subsequent economic transformation of the nation.
