Information and Broadcasting Minister and Awami League Joint General Secretary Hasan Mahmood said, “On December 16, the month of victory, the Pakistanis surrendered at Suhrawardy Udyan, the then Race Course Ground, in Dhaka. And on this 10th also, BNP and the arsonists will surrender to the bosom of Dhaka, as the Pakistanis surrendered. Hasan Mahmud said Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman called for independence on March 7, 1971, from Suhrawardy Udyan. That is why BNP does not like this field. They want to create chaos in Dhaka city.

He said, ‘Chittagong has changed in the last 14 years under the magical leadership of Bangabandhu’s daughter, Sheikh Hasina.
