DHAKA: India on Saturday recalled the historic radio broadcast of former Bangladesh President Zia-ur-Rahman, in which he, invoking Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, proclaimed the country's independence and called upon the people to resist the Pakistan army amid a military crackdown marked by widespread killings and mass atrocities.
On the occasion of Zia's 45th death anniversary, India remembered Zia, father of current PM Tarique Rahman, and his famous radio address of March 1971, describing him as one of the bravest sons of the nation.
