Dr. Shahjahan Mahmud said, "The day of Bangabandhu's return is very memorable. As Bangabandhu called for independence, the invading forces arrested him and took him to Pakistan. Independence was completed on January 10 with Bangabandhu's return to the country."
At the same time, he called upon the people to build the country in the spirit of liberation war by realizing Bangabandhu's dream during the golden jubilee of independence.
