English: Shikha Chirantan is a memorial located in Suhrawardy Udyan in the capital city of Dhaka. On March 7, 1971, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman stood at this place and delivered the historic March 7 speech and recalled the place and day of signing the surrender document of the Pakistani Army. Shikha Chirantan was inaugurated on March 26, 1997 in commemoration of March 7.
An initiative was taken in 1996 to set up an eternal flame to commemorate Bangabandhu's March 7 speech and the signing of the surrender document by Pakistani forces. On this occasion, on March 7, 1997, the then Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina lit the eternal flame and inaugurated the nationwide procession. March 17, 1997 Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's birth place touched Tungipara in Gopalganj and reached Suhrawardy Udyan on March 26. It was established on that day by four world-renowned leaders. Nobel Peace Prize winner Nelson Mandela of South Africa, Yasser Arafat of Palestine, Suleiman Demirel of Turkey and then and current Prime Minister of Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina. The then President Shahabuddin Ahmed hoisted the national flag |
