Tajuddin Putra announced the program through a post on his verified Facebook page on Friday (November 1).

Sohail Taj wrote in his Facebook post, November 3 is the day of the scandalous Jail Murders. 49 years have passed, but till now the four heroes of the nation, under whose leadership the Great War of Liberation was successfully conducted, under whose leadership we got an independent sovereign state called Bangladesh, have not been recognized by the state till date. It can not be accepted!

He presented his three demands. They are:

1. Since the first government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh was formed through the Declaration of Independence on April 10, 1971, Bangladesh was born as an independent sovereign state (republic). So this day should be declared as 'Republic Day'.

2. Jail killings day on November 3 should be declared as a national day of mourning and observed nationally.

3. The names, contributions and biographies of all the civil and military organizers, directors, immortal martyrs and brave freedom fighters including the four national leaders, the accurate and complete history of the liberation war must be included in the textbooks and syllabus of all levels with due dignity and importance.

Sohail Taj wrote in the post, 'I think these three demands of mine are fair and logical and it is the demand of the lives of all the supporters of freedom and liberation war. My next program for that purpose, I will take a position in front of Hotel Intercontinental on November 3 at 3:30 pm and then march and give a memorandum to the Chief Adviser.'

He also wrote, 'From in front of Hotel Intercontinental, I will start the journey by walking towards the Rashtriya Guest House Yamuna at 4 pm. I strongly urge everyone who believes in the spirit of freedom-liberation-war-anti-discrimination to participate in this gathering.
