Prime Minister
Sheikh Hasina's ICT Affairs Adviser Sajeeb Wazed Joy said the historic
six-point demand was a Bengali nationalist movement in East Pakistan
spearheaded by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, which eventually led to the
Bangladesh's liberation.
"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 wrote on a 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 the demands 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 added.
"The six-point charter, the same as the Magna Carta,
catalysed massive popular support across the country, it was recognized as the
definitive gambit for the autonomy and rights of Bengalis," he also said.
It was termed by the radical leaders in the then Pakistan as
a veiled secession, said joy, adding that Sheikh Mujib was all out to conduct
an advocacy campaign for the movement mobilizing support from all sections
irrespective of religion, creed and caste.
"The demand exclusively for the people of East Bengal
alienated West Pakistanis including non-Bengalis and Muslim
fundamentalists," Joy concluded.
