The speakers at the meeting said that on November 7, 1975, when the entire nation was facing uncertainty, the joint revolution of the sepoys and the people created a unique example of patriotism by foiling all conspiracies against national independence and sovereignty. The sepoys and the people freed martyr President Ziaur Rahman from captivity and installed him in national power. He brought the country out of that crisis and introduced multi-layered democracy. He initiated development and new-age politics. Later, they took a procession from Bhulta in Rupganj on the Dhaka-Sylhet highway to Golakandail Roundabout and ended in front of Tant Bazar Market. In the procession, party leaders and activists, riding elephants and horse-drawn carriages with a band, made the Bhulta area ablaze with slogans to the beat of musical instruments.
