DHAKA, 8 June, 2021 (TON): On Monday, PM Sheikh Hasina remarked that the historic Six-Point Charter contained the single point that was independence.
The prime minister recalled the days of the Six-Point Movement in a recorded address to an event, organized by the committee on Bangabandhu’s birth centenary celebrations, to mark the Six-Point Day on Monday.
“The Six-Point Charter actually consisted of one point that was independence. At least we, the family members, knew it. He (Bangabandhu) always told us that Six Points meant one point - independence. Now, we are an independent nation,” Hasina said.
“The Six Points reflected the thoughts he (Bangabandhu) nurtured to change the fate of Bengalis since the creation of Pakistan. And he got the opportunity (to forge the Six Points) when the 1965 India-Pakistan war laid bare the insecurity of the people of this land,” Hasina recalled.
The PM also remembered the 11 martyrs killed in the Six-Point Movement that led to the 1970 general elections.
