About Ziaur Rahman
Ziaur Rahman was a Bangladeshi military leader and politician who served as the sixth president of Bangladesh from 1977 until his assassination in 1981. One of the leading figures of the country's independence war, Zia broadcast the Bangladeshi declaration of independence in March 1971 from Chittagong. In the aftermath of the Sipahi-Janata revolution in 1975, he consolidated power to lead Bangladesh with pragmatic policies through economic liberalisation and civic nationalism that significantly contributed to the economic recovery of the country. He is often referred to as the Shaheed President in Bangladesh. He also founded the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP).
