Bangabandhu's six-point demand led to Bangladesh’s liberation: Joy

Prime Minister's ICT Affairs Adviser Sajeeb Wazed Joy said the historic six-point demand or six-point formula was a Bengali nationalist movement in East Pakistan spearheaded by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, which eventually led to the Bangladesh liberation, reports BSS.
"Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's six-point demand was the stepping stone of the war of liberation the basis of which was Bengali nationalism," he said on his Facebook post on Tuesday.
He said the movement supporting these demands was closely connected with the development of Bengali nationalism.
The response from the common people to the six-point demand was spontaneous, he said, adding that continuous exploitation unleashed by the Pakistani rulers made the Bengalese extremely agitated and frustrated.
Bangabandhu floated six-point demand sensing the pulse of the people, Joy said.
It has been widely credited as the "charter of freedom" in Bangladesh's struggle for self-determination from Pakistan's domination, he said.
