<P> Today Bangladesh is a sovereign and independent country . On Thursday night, West Pakistani armed forces suddenly attacked the police barracks at Razarbagh and the EPR headquarters at Pilkhana in Dacca . Many innocent and unarmed have been killed in Dhaka city and other places of Bangladesh . Violent clashes between E.P.R. and Police on the one hand and the armed forces of Pakistan on the other, are going on . The Bengalis are fighting the enemy with great courage for an independent Bangladesh . May Allah aid us in our fight for freedom . Joy Bangla (May Bangladesh be victorious). </P> <P> Sheikh Mujib also called upon the people to resist the occupation forces through a radio message . Rahman was arrested on the night of 25--26 March 1971 at about 1: 30 am (as per Radio Pakistan's news on 29 March 1971). </P> <P> A telegram containing the text of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's declaration reached some students in Chittagong . The message was translated to Bengali by Dr. Manjula Anwar . The students failed to secure permission from higher authorities to broadcast the message from the nearby Agrabad Station of Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation . However, the message was read several times by the independent Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendro Radio established by some rebel Bangali Radio workers in Kalurghat . Major Ziaur Rahman was requested to provide security of the station and he also read the Declaration on 27 March 1971 . Major Ziaur Rahman broadcast announcement of the declaration of independence on behalf of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman . </P> <P> This is Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra . I, Major Ziaur Rahman, at the direction of Bangobondhu Mujibur Rahman, hereby declare that Independent People's Republic of Bangladesh has been established . At his direction, I have taken the command as the temporary Head of the Republic . In the name of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, I call upon all Bengalees to rise against the attack by the West Pakistani Army . We shall fight to the last to free our motherland . Victory is, by the Grace of Allah, ours . Joy Bangla . </P>
