Gayeshwar Chandra Roy said, Ziaur Rahman rebelled against the Pakistan Army on March 27, 1971 to establish the people’s desire. He called for a war of independence. From his call we participated in the war of independence. Ziaur Rahman was not supposed to come that day. Those who were supposed to come, who were supposed to guide the people, did not come. For the second time on November 7, 1975, the people and the army of Bangladesh came together and freed Ziaur Rahman from captivity and entrusted the responsibility of the country. Ziaur Rahman did not come to power in a military coup on November 7. He came at the call of common people to protect freedom. He was active in fulfilling the aspirations of the people who brought Ziaur Rahman into politics.
