The people sacrificed their lives for the sake of flawless democracy, fundamental rights and establish rules of law. Bangabandhu also sacrificed his life. So, if we want to show respect to Bangabandhu, we
all have to take an oath to sacrifice us to discharge our responsibilities to maintain his directives so that we can enjoy complete democracy, he said.
