16th December , Victory day of Bangladesh !

The 16th December is a red-letter day in the history of Bangladesh because it is the day of victory over barbarous Pak Army.

On the 16th December 1971 Bangladesh came out as an independent nation. It is the day when the long cherished freedom came into being into being. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman declared the independence of Bangladesh on the night of the 25th March 1971, against the inhuman attack of Pak military. He called the people of Bangladesh to face the Pak military junta with courage and determination, on the 27th March 1971, and then the Major Ziaur Rahman read out the proclamation of independence through the radio on behalf of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. People from all walks of life launched a strong resistance to the enemy force.

Pak military killed thousand of men and children, ransacked innumerable houses and looted their belongings.

Mukti Bahini along with allied forces from India inflicted the final attack on Pak army. They were surrounded from all sides on the 16th December 1971.

When the people heard this news of the surrender, they came out of their houses with processions chanting different slogans Some people came out in tears remembering the loss of their near and dear ones. The 16th December is the day of victory of the right cause against injustice and tyranny. No oppressor can rule his people for a long time. Sixteenth December will be celebrated every year as a victory day as long as Bangladesh exists. This serves a source of inspiration for the people.
