About the reprint of country's liberation war document, the AL general secretary said, "After the killing of Bangabandhu, president Ziaur Rahman wrote in a article published in the Ittefaq that he announced the country's independence under the directive of Bangabandhu."

AL Joint Secretary Mukul Bose said the life of Hasina has to be protected by resisting the evil forces.

AL Organising Secretary Abdul Mannan wondered, "How a sector commander could be the proclaimer of the country's independence?"

BCL President Liakat Ali Shikdar and General Secretary Nazrul Islam Babu also spoke.
