Dhaka, May 30, 2025: Today, marks the 44th martyrdom anniversary of Shaheed President Ziaur Rahman, the announcer of Bangladesh’s independence, a key sector commander in the Liberation War, and the founder of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). On this day in 1981, he was brutally assassinated by a group of misguided army personnel at the Chittagong Circuit House as part of a domestic and foreign conspiracy.
Ziaur Rahman was the commander of the Z Force during the Liberation War and a visionary leader. The BNP, founded by him, is now one of the country’s leading political parties. He brought revolutionary changes to Bangladesh’s agriculture, industry, and economy. Through initiatives like the canal digging program, the green revolution, and modern economic systems, he laid the foundation for the nation’s self-reliance. His focus on women and child development played a significant role in social progress. His integrity, dedication, and patriotism have made him immortal in the hearts of the people.
To commemorate the occasion, the BNP and its affiliate organizations have announced an eight-day program from May 26 to June 2. The activities include discussion meetings, publication of posters and leaflets, wearing black badges, hoisting black flags, offering wreaths at Shaheed Zia’s grave, reciting Fatiha, and distributing food and clothing among the underprivileged. On Friday at 6:00 AM, the party flag will be flown at half-mast, and black flags will be hoisted at the BNP’s central office in Naya Paltan and other offices across the country. At 10:30 AM, wreaths will be placed at Shaheed Zia’s grave in Sher-e-Bangla Nagar, and in the afternoon, Dhaka North and South BNP units will distribute food and clothing to the poor.
On May 29, 1981, during an official visit to Chittagong, Ziaur Rahman was killed in the early hours of the following day. His body was secretly buried in a remote jungle in Rauzan. Three days later, it was recovered and brought to Dhaka, where millions of grieving people attended his funeral. He was laid to rest at the premises of the National Parliament.
