Bangladeshi 🇧🇩 Holidays contest || Victory Day of Bangladesh ||
Victory Day of Bangladesh
Victory Day is celebrated as the special day of Bangladesh. Every year on 16th December, Bangladesh is celebrated in a special way. After 9 months of bloody war, on 16 December 1971, the Pakistani aggressors formally surrendered to the joint forces. As a result, a new independent and sovereign state called Bangladesh emerged in the heart of the world. In a circular issued on 22 January 1972, this day was declared as the National Day of Bangladesh and a public holiday. Today I will talk to you about the history of Pohela Boishakh, its celebration and some more formalities associated with it.
Let's get started ...

At 4:31 pm on the same day, General Amir Abdullah Khan Niazi signed the surrender document on behalf of Pakistan at the Race Course Ground in Dhaka. He surrendered to General Jagjit Singh Aurora, Chief of the Joint Forces of Bangladesh and India. Deputy Commander-in-Chief of Bangladesh Mukti Bahini Abdul Karim Khandaker was present at the surrender ceremony.

The victory of the war of liberation is not limited to a national flag and an independent territory. Its significance is far-reaching. Through the victory of the war of liberation, the neglected and exploited nation composed an outstanding fragrance. Bangladesh created a glorious chapter in the history of the world liberation war.
