‘Nationwide observance of Nat’l Revolt’

Staff Reporter :

Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami Ameer Dr. Shafiqur Rahman has urged citizens across the country to observe National Revolution and Solidarity Day on November 7 with due respect and significance, describing the date as a milestone in the nation’s history.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, Dr. Shafiqur Rahman said the day commemorates a decisive moment in 1975 when “freedom-loving people took to the streets to safeguard the country’s independence and sovereignty and to resist conspiracies against the nation.”

Recalling the political turmoil of that period, he said that on November 3, 1975, a counter-coup led by Major General Khaled Mosharraf sought to restore the Awami League to power.
“But patriotic soldiers and the masses, united under the slogan ‘Nara-e-Takbir, Allahu Akbar,’ foiled the conspiracy and defended Bangladesh’s independence,” he stated.

The Jamaat chief noted that this year’s observance comes at a time when the nation “again faces a deep crisis,” warning that “multiple conspiracies are underway to reintroduce fascism in the country.” If these “anti-national plots” succeed, he cautioned, “the country will fall into grave danger.”

Calling for unity across all segments of society, Dr. Shafiqur Rahman urged patriotic citizens, students, political parties, and national institutions — including the government and the armed forces — to work collectively to preserve national sovereignty and unity.
“I call upon all wings of Jamaat and the patriotic people of the country to observe November 7, National Revolution and Solidarity Day, with due respect and a renewed pledge to safeguard Bangladesh’s independence and sovereignty,” he concluded.
