Happy Independence Day to the people of Bangladesh.
I was honoured to attend the floral wreath laying ceremony at the National Monument in Savar at sunrise.
A moment for reflection and to pay our respects.
Freedom was earned through sacrifice and courage.
On this day, we renew our commitment to building a just, inclusive, and prosperous Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Happy #IndependenceDay.
On the occasion of the great Independence and National Day, 26 March, I extend my heartfelt greetings and congratulations to the people of Bangladesh at all levels, as well as to all Bangladeshis living abroad.
March 26 is a glorious and historic day in our national life. On this day, I remember with profound respect the nation's finest sons, whose sacrifices enabled us to achieve an independent and sovereign Bangladesh. At the same time, I recall with deep gratitude the brave freedom fighters who took part in the Liberation War, the mothers, sisters who suffered oppression and all those who devoted themselves to the struggle for independence. I pray for the eternal peace of the departed souls of all the martyrs.
The Great Independence Day inspires us anew with the spirit of courage, sacrifice and patriotism. The fundamental goal of independence was to establish a Bangladesh that is free from discriminations, and to be democratic, peaceful and prosperous.
Keeping that goal before us, we must work together and continue to move the country forward.
To further accelerate the progress and development of our beloved motherland, we must uphold in our hearts the spirit of national unity, mutual tolerance and patriotism.
Let us draw inspiration from the significance of the Great Independence and National Day and dedicate ourselves, from our respective positions, to the welfare of the country. Together, let us work to build a developed, prosperous and dignified Bangladesh.
I wish every success to all programmes organised on the occasion of the Great Independence and National Day.
March 25, 1971 is observed as Genocide Day. On the occasion of Genocide Day, 1 pay my deepest respect to all the martyrs.
In the history of freedom-loving Bangladesh, 25 March 1971 remains one of the most disgraceful and brutal days. On that dark night, the Pakistani occupation forces carried out one of the most heinous genocides in history against the unarmed people of Bangladesh in the name of 'Operation Searchlight".
They indiscriminately opened fire on teachers, intellectuals and innocent civilians at various places, including Dhaka University, Pilkhana and Rajarbāgh Police Lines, killing many people.
The genocide of 25 March was a pre-planned massacre. Why this organised killing spree could not be resisted remains a matter of historical research regarding the visible role of the political leadership of that time.
However, on the night of 25 March, the 8th East Bengal Regiment in Chattogram formally initiated armed resistance against the genocide by declaring 'We Revolt'. Through this resistance to genocide, the long nine-month armed Liberation War began.
To convey the value and significance of independence to the present and future generations, it is essential to know about the genocide of 25 March as well. Let us all strive to honour the sacrifices of the martyrs by establishing in the state and society the spirit of the great Liberation War - equality, human dignity and social justice.
Let us work together to build a just, developed, prosperous, self-reliant and democratic Bangladesh.
I pray to the Almighty Allah to grant forgiveness and eternal peace to the departed souls of all the martyrs.
On the occasion of Genocide Day on 25 March. I wish every success to all the programmes organised to observe the day.
After 17 years in self-exile, Tarique Rahman is set to be Bangladesh’s new leader. The Bangladesh Nationalist Party has secured the majority of parliamentary seats in the landmark election.
This was Bangladesh’s first election after a student-led uprising, where around 1,400 protesters died according to the UN, put an end to Hasina’s 15 years of autocracy.
The Bangladesh Nationalist Party has secured a majority victory in the country's first election since the Gen Z-driven uprising of 2024.

Bangladesh is voting for the first time since student-led protests ousted longtime leader, former PM Sheikh Hasina in 2024.
Al Jazeera’s Virginia Pietromarchi reports from Sylhet.
Very sad to see a cricket-loving nation like Bangladesh being deprived of cricket due to security concerns not being addressed.
When similar concerns were raised earlier, a neutral venue was approved. Standards cannot change from country to country.
ICC must act as the International Cricket Council, not appear to serve the interests of any single board. Fairness and consistency are the foundation of global cricket.
