Bangladesh Federal Union of Journalists (BFUJ) and Dhaka Union of Journalists (DUJ) observed Black Day on 16 June (on this day in 1975 the BKSAL govt banned all newspapers except for four, which served them). The speakers were imbued with the flame and fervour of patriotism. Please read the details in the following report:

Just quoting a part of Mahmudur Rahman's speech from the above report: "...This is a fascist govt...They don't believe in independence....The BDR was destroyed during this regime, 57 brilliant army officers were killed, now they are conspiring to destroy the army. By threatening the independence of the country, they are bringing the Indian army chief to receive salute from young army cadets in Bhatiary (military academy, Chittagong). The govt wants to handover the independence and sovereignty of the country to India. They are conceding corridor to India. They are conceding the sea ports. They want to make Bangladesh an extended part of India. This govt does not believe in the independence of Bangladesh. They are an anti-state force. If the present state continues, then the piece of territory would be there, but not independence and sovereignty. There would be people, but not the nation. If we remain quiet and inactive, then we would not be able to safeguard our independence...."
16 June was a black day for the media and democracy
