Original Declaration of Independence by Ziaur Rahman

On behalf of our great national leader, the supreme commander of Bangladesh Sheikh Mujibur Rahman do hereby proclaim the independence of Bangladesh. It is further proclaimed that Sheikh Mujibur Rahman sole leader of the elected representatives of 75 million people of Bangladesh. I therefore appeal on behalf of our great leader Sheikh Mujibur Rahman to the government of all the democratic countries of the world specially the big world part and neighboring countries to take effective steps to stop immediately the awful genocide that has been carried on by the army of occupation from Pakistan. The legally elected representatives of the majority of the people as repressionist, it is cruel joke and contradiction in terms which should be fool none. The guiding principle of a new step will be first neutrality, second peace and third friendship to all and anomity to none May Allah Help Us JOY BANGLA.
