TANGAIL, May 30, 2026(BSS) - State Minister for Fisheries and Livestock Sultana Salahuddin Tuku today said that Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman declared the independence on March 26 from the Kalurghat radio station and inspired the nation to join the War of Liberation.
He said that through his declaration, Bangladesh achieved independence. His leadership, patriotism and courage remain unforgettable in the history of the independence. “We want to continue our journey by holding his ideals in our hearts,” he added.
The state minister made these remarks while addressing a discussion and doa mahfil organized by the district BNP at a community center here marking the 45th death anniversary of Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman as the chief guest.

“We want such a Bangladesh where equality, justice, democracy and human values are established. Holding on to Ziaur Rahman’s patriotism, honesty and ideals, everyone must work together to build a corruption-free, self-reliant and prosperous Bangladesh,” he added.
The meeting was chaired by district BNP President Hasanuzzaman Shahin where former member secretary of district BNP Mahmudul Haque Sanu, former joint secretary Kazi Shafiqur Rahman Liton, former organizational secretary Shafiqur Rahman Shafiq and sadar upazila BNP President Azgar Ali also spoke.
