BNP standing committee member Moudud Ahmed on Saturday claimed that former Dhaka University teacher Dr Mahbub Ullah was the first to declare the independence of Bangladesh in 1969, reports UNB. Addressing the launching ceremony of his book, titled 'Bangladesh: Emergency and the Aftermath (2007-2008)', Moudud said: "Mahbub Ullah first declared the independence of Bangladesh in 1969. The then military government grilled him for that. I was his lawyer at that time."
The programme was held at the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) auditorium.
