In a Facebook post on Tuesday (March 26), Joy wrote, “26 March, our Independence Day. On this day 53 years back, Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman declared our independence just before he was arrested and taken away by the Pak Army in the middle of the night.”

“In the wireless message, he said – ‘This may be my last message: from today Bangladesh is independent. I call upon the people of Bangladesh wherever you might be and with whatever you have, to resist the army of occupation to the last. Your fight must go on until the last soldier of the Pakistan occupation army is expelled from the soil of Bangladesh and final victory is achieved’," Bangabandhu’s grandson said.
“Then the bravest sons of this soil retaliated, fought and won the liberation war, in just 9 months. I remember Bangabandhu and our valiant freedom fighters on this day,” he added.
